Passé Antérieur (Past Anterior) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb diamanter
Introduction to the verb diamanter
The English translation of the French verb diamanter is “to diamond” or “to set with diamonds.” It is pronounced as “dee-ah-mahn-teh.”
The word diamanter comes from the noun “diamant,” which means diamond in French, and the suffix -er which is used to form a verb. In everyday French, diamanter is most often used in its past tense form, Passé Antérieur, to describe an action that occurred before another past action. This tense is formed by using the auxiliary verb “avoir” or “être” in the imparfait tense, followed by the past participle of the verb.
Examples of diamanter in the Passé Antérieur tense with English translations are:
- J’ai diamanté le collier avant de l’offrir à ma mère. (I had diamonded the necklace before giving it to my mother.)
- Elle a diamanté sa bague de fiançailles avant la cérémonie. (She had diamonded her engagement ring before the ceremony.)
- Nous avons diamanté la montre avant de la vendre aux enchères. (We had diamonded the watch before selling it at auction.)
In each of these examples, the action of diamonding (setting with diamonds) occurred before another past action (giving, wearing, and selling respectively). The Passé Antérieur tense is used to emphasize the completion of the action before the other past action took place.
