Passé Antérieur (Past Anterior) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb cornaquer
Introduction to the verb cornaquer
The English translation of the French verb cornaquer is “to lead” or “to guide”. It is pronounced as kor-na-ke.
The origin of cornaquer can be traced back to the Old French word “cornac”, meaning “leader” or “guide”. It is derived from the Latin word “cornu” meaning “horn”, possibly referencing the use of horns to signal commands to a group of people.
In everyday French, cornaquer is most often used in the Passé Antérieur tense to indicate an action that was completed in the past before another action. This tense is formed by using the auxiliary verb “avoir” or “être” in the Imparfait tense, followed by the past participle of the main verb.
Example 1: J’avais cornaqué l’expédition avant qu’il ne se mette à pleuvoir. (I had led the expedition before it started raining.)
Example 2: Tu avais cornaqué les manifestants jusqu’à la place de la République. (You had guided the protesters to the Place de la République.)
Example 3: Ils étaient cornaqués par leur capitaine lors de chaque bataille. (They were led by their captain during every battle.)
