Passé Composé (Present Perfect) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb compiler
Introduction to the verb compiler
The English translation of the French verb compiler is “to compile.” It is pronounced “kom-pee-leh” in its infinitive form.
The word “compiler” comes from the Latin word “compilare,” meaning “to gather together.” In everyday French, the verb “compiler” is most often used in the Passé Composé tense, which is equivalent to the English Present Perfect tense. In this tense, “compiler” is used to describe an action that has been completed in the past and has a direct impact on the present.
Here are three simple examples of how “compiler” is used in the Passé Composé tense in everyday French:
- J’ai compilé mes notes pour mon examen. (I compiled my notes for my exam.)
- Elle a compilé les données pour son rapport. (She compiled the data for her report.)
- Nous avons compilé les informations nécessaires pour le projet. (We compiled the necessary information for the project.)
In each of these examples, the action of compiling has been completed in the past and the results are still relevant in the present. The Passé Composé tense is used because the focus is on the completed action of compiling, rather than the ongoing process.
