Passé Composé (Present Perfect) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb embastiller
Introduction to the verb embastiller
The English translation of the French verb embastiller is “to imprison” or “to lock up.” It is pronounced as “ahm-bah-stee-yay” in its infinitive form.
The word “embastiller” comes from the Old French word “bastille,” which means “fortress” or “castle.” In everyday modern French, it is most often used in the Passé Composé (Present Perfect) tense to talk about a past action that has been completed.
Three simple examples of its usage in this tense are:
1) Ils ont embastillé les prisonniers politiques. (They imprisoned the political prisoners.)
2) Les rebelles ont été embastillés par les autorités. (The rebels were locked up by the authorities.)
3) Elle a embastillé son mari infidèle. (She locked up her unfaithful husband.)
In all of these examples, the action of imprisonment has already been completed in the past. The verb embastiller is often used to talk about imprisoning someone or being imprisoned oneself, but it can also be used in a metaphorical sense to mean feeling trapped or confined in a situation.
