Passé Composé (Present Perfect) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb calandrer
Introduction to the verb calandrer
The English translation of the French verb calandrer is to iron with a roller. It is pronounced “kah-lahn-dreh”.
The term comes from the word “calandre”, which refers to a metal roller used in the past to press and smooth fabric. The verb calandrer is most often used in everyday French in the Passé Composé tense, which is equivalent to the English Present Perfect tense.
Three simple examples of its usage in the Passé Composé tense are:
- J’ai calandré mes chemises hier soir. (I ironed my shirts last night.)
- Elle a calandré les draps avant de les ranger. (She ironed the sheets before putting them away.)
- Nous avons calandré nos vêtements pour le mariage. (We ironed our clothes for the wedding.)
In all three examples, the verb is used to express an action that was completed in the past and has a direct impact on the present. The use of the Passé Composé tense implies that the ironing is now finished and the clothes are now smooth and straight.
