Passé Antérieur (Past Anterior) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb consoner
Introduction to the verb consoner
The English translation of the French verb consoner is “to agree” or “to harmonize.” It is pronounced as “koh(n)-soh-ney” in its infinitive form.
The word consoner comes from the Latin word “consonare” which means “to sound together.” It is most often used as a reflexive verb in everyday French and is commonly used in the Passé Antérieur tense, which is the literary equivalent of the passé composé tense. This tense is used to describe completed actions that occurred before another past action. It is formed by using the auxiliary verb “avoir” or “être” in the passé simple tense followed by the past participle of the main verb.
Here are three simple examples of how consoner is used in the Passé Antérieur tense in everyday French:
- Nous nous étions consonés avant de partir. (We had agreed before leaving.)
- Elle s’était consonée avec sa mère pour organiser la fête. (She had harmonized with her mother to organize the party.)
- Ils s’étaient consonés sur le choix des couleurs. (They had agreed on the choice of colors.)
In these examples, the past actions of agreeing and harmonizing occurred before the main actions of leaving, organizing, and choosing. This shows how consoner is commonly used in the Passé Antérieur tense in everyday French to describe completed actions in the past.
