Passé Composé (Present Perfect) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb barricader
Introduction to the verb barricader
The English translation of the French verb barricader is “to barricade.” It is pronounced as bah-ree-kah-deh in the infinitive form.
The word barricader is derived from the Old French word “barricade,” which comes from the Spanish word “barricada,” meaning “barricade” or “obstacle.” It originated from the Latin word “barrica,” meaning “barrel,” as barrels were often used to create barricades in medieval times.
In everyday French, barricader is most often used in the Passé Composé tense, which is the equivalent of the Present Perfect tense in English. This tense is formed by using the auxiliary verb “avoir” (to have) or “être” (to be) and the past participle of the verb, which in this case is “barricadé” for both auxiliary verbs.
Examples of barricader in the Passé Composé tense:
- Nous avons barricadé la porte pour empêcher les voleurs d’entrer. (We barricaded the door to prevent thieves from entering.)

- J’ai vu que tu as barricadé toutes les fenêtres de ta maison avant la tempête. (I saw that you barricaded all the windows of your house before the storm.)
Overall, barricader is used in the Passé Composé tense to describe a past action of creating a barricade or obstacle for protection or defense.
