Introduction to the verb enferrer
The English translation of the French verb enferrer is “to trap” or “to ensnare.” The infinitive form of enferrer is pronounced as “ahn-fair-ay.”
Enferrer comes from the Old French word enferrer, which means “to put in an iron cage” or “to imprison.” It is derived from the Latin word ferrum, meaning “iron.” In modern French, enferrer is usually used in the Passé Composé tense to indicate an action that has been completed in the past.
Here are three examples of enferrer being used in the Passé Composé tense:
- J’ai enferré un lapin dans un piège. (I trapped a rabbit in a trap.)
- Les cambrioleurs se sont enferrés dans la maison. (The burglars got trapped in the house.)
- Il s’est enferré dans ses mensonges. (He got caught in his lies.)
In these examples, enferrer is used to describe actions that have been completed in the past, and the verb is conjugated with the auxiliary verb avoir (to have) in the Passé Composé tense to agree with the subject of the sentence.
