Passé Composé (Present Perfect) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb computer
Introduction to the verb computer
The English translation of the French verb “computer” is “calculer” or “informatiser.”
The infinitive form of “computer” is pronounced “ka-loo-lay” or “in-for-ma-tee-zay.”
The word “computer” has its roots in the Latin word “computare” meaning “to calculate.” This word was later adapted into Old French as “compter” and eventually evolved into the modern French word “calculer.” In the 20th century, with the rise of technology, the word “computer” was borrowed from English and is now commonly used in French as well.
The passé composé (present perfect) tense is used to talk about completed actions or events in the past. In French, it is formed by using the auxiliary verb “avoir” or “être” and the past participle of the main verb.
Here are three simple examples of how “computer” is used in the passé composé tense in everyday French:
- J’ai calculé mes dépenses hier soir. (I calculated my expenses last night.)
- Nous avons informatisé notre bureau la semaine dernière. (We computerized our office last week.)
- Elle a compté le nombre de livres dans sa bibliothèque. (She counted the number of books in her library.)
In these examples, the verb “computer” is used to indicate completed actions in the past. In the first sentence, “calculer” is used to talk about the completed action of calculating expenses. In the second sentence, “informatiser” is used to talk about the completed action of computerizing an office. And in the third sentence, “compter” is used to talk about the completed action of counting books.
