Passé Composé (Present Perfect) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb clarifier
Introduction to the verb clarifier
The English translation of the French verb clarifier is “to clarify.” It is pronounced “klah-ree-fee-ay.”
The verb clarifier comes from the French word “clair,” meaning clear, and the suffix “-ifier,” which is used to form verbs from adjectives. In everyday French, clarifier is most often used in the Passé Composé (Present Perfect) tense, which is used to talk about actions that have been completed in the past.
Here are three simple examples of the usage of clarifier in the Passé Composé tense:
- J’ai clarifié les choses avec mon patron. (I clarified things with my boss.)
- Tu as clarifié ta position dans ce débat. (You clarified your position in this debate.)
- Nous avons clarifié les règles du jeu avant de commencer. (We clarified the rules of the game before starting.)
In these examples, clarifier is used to talk about clarifying or making something clear in the past. In English, we would use the present perfect tense in a similar way, such as “I have clarified” or “You have clarified.”
