Passé Composé (Present Perfect) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb agrafer
Introduction to the verb agrafer
The English translation of the French verb agrafer is “to staple.” It is pronounced “ah-grah-fay.”
The language origin of agrafer comes from the Old French word “agrafer,” which means “to hook or to fasten.” In everyday French, it is most often used in the Passé Composé (Present Perfect) tense to describe an action that was completed in the past.
Here are three simple examples of agrafer in the Passé Composé tense:
- J’ai agrafé les feuilles ensemble. (I stapled the sheets together.)
- Tu as agrafé le papier au mur. (You stapled the paper to the wall.)
- Il a agrafé les documents avant la réunion. (He stapled the documents before the meeting.)
In all of these examples, the action of stapling was completed in the past and is described by using the auxiliary verb “avoir” (to have) followed by the past participle “agrafé.” The Passé Composé tense is commonly used in spoken French to talk about actions that happened in the recent past.
