Passé Antérieur (Past Anterior) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb cramer
Introduction to the verb cramer
The English translation of the French verb cramer is “to burn”, and the pronunciation of the infinitive form is [kʁame]. The word originates from the Latin verb “cremare” meaning “to burn”, and it is most often used in everyday French in the Passé Antérieur tense, which is a compound past tense that expresses an action that occurred before another past action.
Examples:
- J’ai crâmé mes doigts en touchant la poêle chaude. (I burned my fingers touching the hot pan.)
- Elle a crâmé son dîner car elle a laissé la cuisinière allumée. (She burned her dinner because she left the stove on.)
- Nous avons crâmé le feu de camp en utilisant trop de bois. (We burned the campfire by using too much wood.)
In these examples, “cramer” is used in the Passé Antérieur tense to describe actions that happened before another past action, such as burning one’s fingers before realizing the pan was hot, burning dinner before realizing the stove was left on, and burning the campfire before noticing that too much wood was used.
