Passé Composé (Present Perfect) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb bancher
Introduction to the verb bancher
The English translation of the French verb bancher is “to plug in” or “to connect.” The infinitive form is pronounced “bah-shay.”
The word bancher comes from the Old French word “banche,” which referred to a wooden beam or plank. Over time, it evolved to refer to any kind of connection or attachment. In modern French, it is most commonly used to describe the act of plugging in an electrical device or connecting two things together.
In the Passé Composé tense, bancher is conjugated with the auxiliary verb “avoir” and the past participle “branché” to indicate a completed action in the past. For example:
- J’ai branché mon ordinateur hier soir. (I plugged in my computer last night.)
- Nous avons branché la télévision avant le match. (We connected the television before the game.)
- Tu as branché le chargeur de ton téléphone? (Did you plug in your phone charger?)
In everyday French, bancher can also be used figuratively to mean “to fit in” or “to blend in.” In this sense, it is often used in the expression “bancher avec” (to fit in with) in the Passé Composé tense. For example:
- Il a bien branché avec son nouveau groupe d’amis. (He fit in well with his new group of friends.)
- Est-ce que je me suis bien branchée avec ta famille? (Did I fit in well with your family?)
- On a branché avec les autres élèves de la classe. (We blended in with the other students in the class.)
