Introduction to the verb covoiturer
The English translation of the French verb covoiturer is “to carpool.” It is pronounced as “koh-vwah-tyuh-rey” in its infinitive form.
The word covoiturer is a combination of the words “co-” meaning “together” and “voiture” meaning “car.” It was first used in French in the 1970s during the oil crisis as a way for people to save money on gas by sharing rides with others. Today, it is still commonly used to refer to the act of sharing a car or ridesharing with others.
In everyday French, the Passé Antérieur tense is used to talk about actions that were completed in the past before another action took place. It is formed by using the auxiliary verb “avoir” or “être” in the imparfait tense followed by the past participle of the main verb.
