Passé Composé (Present Perfect) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb doigter
Introduction to the verb doigter
The English translation of the French verb doigter is “to finger”. It is pronounced as “dwah-tay”.
Doigter comes from the Old French word “doiter” which means “to touch with the fingers”. It is most often used in everyday French in the Passé Composé tense, which is the equivalent of the Present Perfect tense in English. In this tense, it is used to describe an action that has been completed in the past.
Here are three simple examples of its usage in the Passé Composé tense:
- J’ai doigté la guitare toute la soirée. (I fingered the guitar all evening.)
- Elle a doigté les touches du piano avec élégance. (She fingered the piano keys with elegance.)
- Les enfants ont doigté les boutons de l’ascenseur sans surveillance. (The children fingered the elevator buttons unsupervised.)
In all of these examples, the verb doigter is used as the main verb in the Passé Composé tense, with the auxiliary verb avoir and the past participle “doigté”. It is a regular -er verb, so it follows the same conjugation pattern as other -er verbs in French.
