Introduction to the verb diviser
The English translation of the French verb diviser is “to divide.” It is pronounced “dee-vee-zay” in the infinitive form.
The word “diviser” comes from the Latin word “dividere,” meaning “to separate.” In everyday French, it is most often used to indicate the act of separating something into two or more parts, or to divide something into smaller portions.
In the Passé Antérieur tense, diviser is used to describe an action that occurred before another action in the past. It is formed by conjugating the auxiliary verb avoir in the Passé Simple tense, followed by the past participle divisé.
Three examples of diviser in the Passé Antérieur tense are:
- Nous eûmes divisé notre temps entre nos amis et notre travail. (We had divided our time between our friends and our work.)
