Passé Composé (Present Perfect) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb canner
Introduction to the verb canner
The English translation of the French verb canner is “to can” or “to preserve in a can.” It is pronounced as “kann-ay” in its infinitive form.
Canner comes from the Old French word “cannier,” meaning “can,” and ultimately from the Latin word “canna,” meaning “reed.” In everyday French, canner is most often used in the Passé Composé tense, which is equivalent to the present perfect tense in English. This tense is used to talk about past actions that are completed and have a connection to the present.
Here are three simple examples of canner in the Passé Composé tense:
- J’ai cané des haricots verts ce matin. (I canned some green beans this morning.)
- Tu as déjà cané des fruits pour l’hiver? (Have you already canned some fruits for the winter?)
- Les grand-mères ont toujours cané leurs confitures maison. (Grandmothers have always canned their homemade jams.)
In these examples, canner is used to talk about the action of preserving food in a can, which is completed in the past but has a connection to the present as it is a common practice for many people.
