Passé Antérieur (Past Anterior) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb culpabiliser
Introduction to the verb culpabiliser
The English translation of the French verb culpabiliser is “to make someone feel guilty.” The infinitive form is pronounced as “kul-pa-bee-lee-zay.”
The word culpabiliser is derived from the Latin word “culpa,” meaning “fault” or “blame,” and the French suffix “-iser,” which indicates a causative action. It is most often used in everyday French in the Passé Antérieur tense, which is a compound past tense used to talk about a past action that occurred before another past action.
Here are three examples of culpabiliser used in the Passé Antérieur tense:
- J’ai culpabilisé mon frère en lui rappelant ses promesses. (I made my brother feel guilty by reminding him of his promises.)
- Elle avait déjà culpabilisé son mari avant qu’il ne mente à nouveau. (She had already made her husband feel guilty before he lied again.)
- Nous avions culpabilisé nos enfants pour leur mauvais comportement. (We had made our children feel guilty for their bad behavior.)
In each of these examples, the action of causing someone to feel guilty (culpabiliser) happened before another past action (rappeler, mentir, and se comporter), which is why the Passé Antérieur tense is used.
