Passé Composé (Present Perfect) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb convier
Introduction to the verb convier
The English translation of the French verb convier is “to invite.” It is pronounced as “kon-vee-ay” in its infinitive form.
The word convier comes from the Latin word “convidare,” which means “to invite.” It entered the French language in the 12th century and has been used in everyday language ever since. In the Passé Composé tense, convier is commonly used to talk about past events or actions that have been completed.
Here are three simple examples of convier being used in the Passé Composé tense:
- J’ai convié mes amis à mon anniversaire. (I invited my friends to my birthday party.)
- Elle a convié ses collègues à un dîner. (She invited her colleagues for dinner.)
- Nous avons été conviés à assister à la cérémonie de remise des diplômes. (We were invited to attend the graduation ceremony.)
In all of these examples, convier is used to talk about an action that has already happened in the past. The Passé Composé tense is formed by using the auxiliary verb “avoir” (to have) or “être” (to be) and the past participle of the verb, which in this case is “convier.”
