Introduction to the verb cordeler
The English translation of the French verb cordeler is “to tie with a rope” or “to bind with a cord.” The infinitive form of cordeler is pronounced as “kor-duh-leh.”
Cordeler comes from the Latin word “corticellus,” meaning “small rope.” In everyday French, it is most often used in its literal sense, to describe the action of tying or binding something with a rope or cord.
In the Passé Antérieur tense, cordeler is used to describe an action that was completed before another past action. It is formed by conjugating the auxiliary verb “avoir” or “être” in the passé simple tense and adding the past participle of cordeler.
Examples:
- J’eus cordelé les branches avant que la pluie n’arrive. (I had tied the branches before the rain arrived.)
- Tu eus cordelé tes cheveux pour la soirée. (You had tied your hair for the evening.)
- Ils eurent cordelé le colis avant de l’envoyer. (They had tied the package before sending it.)
In these examples, the past action of tying with a rope (cordeler) was completed before the other actions (the rain arriving, getting ready for the evening, and sending the package).
