Passé Antérieur (Past Anterior) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb décoder
Introduction to the verb décoder
The English translation of the French verb décoder is “to decode.” This verb is pronounced “day-koh-day” in the infinitive form.
The word décoder is derived from the Latin word “de” meaning “from” and the Latin word “codex” meaning “book.” It first appeared in the French language in the 16th century and has since evolved to include the meaning of deciphering or interpreting a hidden message or symbol.
In everyday French, décoder is often used in the Passé Antérieur tense, which is the past tense that occurs before another past event. This tense is used to describe an action that was completed before another past action. For example, “Il avait décoder le message avant que l’ennemi l’ait intercepté,” meaning “He had decoded the message before the enemy intercepted it.”
Here are three simple examples of décoder in the Passé Antérieur tense:
- J’ai décoder le message avant que la batterie ne tombe à court de charge. (I had decoded the message before the battery ran out of charge.)
- Vous avez décoder le code secret avant que le temps ne s’écoule. (You had decoded the secret code before time ran out.)
- Ils ont décoder le message crypté avant que le destinataire ne le reçoive. (They had decoded the encrypted message before the recipient received it.)
