Passé Composé (Present Perfect) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb accepter
Introduction to the verb accepter
The English translation of the French verb “accepter” is “to accept.” The infinitive form “accepter” is pronounced as “ak-sep-te.”
“Accepter” is derived from the Latin verb “acceptare,” meaning “to take, receive.” In everyday French, “accepter” is commonly used in the Passé Composé tense (Present Perfect) to express actions that occurred in the past. It is formed by using the auxiliary verb “avoir” (to have) in the present tense, followed by the past participle of “accepter,” which is “accepté.”
Here are three simple examples of “accepter” used in the Passé Composé tense, along with their English translations:
- J’ai accepté l’invitation à la fête. (I accepted the party invitation.)
- Elle a accepté le nouvel emploi. (She accepted the new job.)
- Nous avons accepté de l’aide. (We accepted the help.)
Note: In the examples above, the auxiliary verb “avoir” (to have) is conjugated according to the subject, and the past participle “accepté” remains unchanged.
