Passé Antérieur (Past Anterior) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb cylindrer
Introduction to the verb cylindrer
The English translation of the French verb cylindrer is “to cylinder” or “to roll into a cylinder.” The infinitive form of cylindrer is pronounced “seel-en-dreh.”
Cylindrer comes from the French noun “cylindre,” meaning cylinder, which comes from the Latin word “cylindrus,” meaning “a roller.” In everyday French, cylindrer is most often used in the Passé Antérieur tense, which is the equivalent of the past perfect tense in English. This tense is used to describe an action that occurred before another past action.
Example 1: J’ai cylindré la pâte avant de la mettre au four. (I had rolled the dough before putting it in the oven.)
Example 2: Tu as cylindré le tissu pour en faire un rouleau. (You had rolled the fabric to make a roll.)
Example 3: Il a cylindré les documents avant de les mettre dans l’enveloppe. (He had rolled the documents before putting them in the envelope.)
In these examples, cylindrer is used in its past participle form “cylindré” and is followed by the auxiliary verb “avoir” (to have) conjugated in the present tense. It is often used in the context of cooking, crafting, or organizing objects into a cylindrical shape.
