Introduction to the verb conspirer
The English translation of the French verb conspirer is “to conspire.” The infinitive form is pronounced “kon-see-pree.”
The word “conspirer” comes from the Latin word “conspirare,” meaning “to plot together.” In everyday French, it is most often used to describe secret plans or actions made by a group of people to achieve a certain goal. In the Passé Antérieur tense, it is used to talk about events that happened before another event in the past. This tense is formed with the auxiliary verbs “avoir” or “être” conjugated in the Imparfait tense, followed by the past participle of the verb.
