Passé Antérieur (Past Anterior) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb cotiser
Introduction to the verb cotiser
The English translation of the French verb cotiser is “to contribute” or “to pay into a fund.” It is pronounced “ko-tee-zay” in its infinitive form.
Cotiser is derived from the French noun cotisation, meaning “contribution” or “subscription.” It comes from the Latin cotis, meaning “share” or “participation.” Cotiser is most often used in everyday French to describe the action of contributing or paying into a fund, such as a retirement or health insurance fund.
In the Passé Antérieur tense, cotiser is used to talk about an action that was completed in the past before another past action. It is formed by conjugating the auxiliary verb avoir in the passé simple tense and adding the past participle cotisé.
For example:
- J’ai cotisé à mon compte de retraite avant de partir en vacances. (I had contributed to my retirement account before going on vacation.)
- Nous avons cotisé pour le cadeau d’anniversaire de notre collègue. (We had contributed for our colleague’s birthday present.)
- Ils ont cotisé à une cagnotte pour aider leur ami en difficulté. (They had contributed to a fund to help their friend in need.)
