Passé Simple (Simple Past) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb agréer
Introduction to the verb agréer
The English translation of the French verb “agréer” is “to accept” or “to agree.” The infinitive form “agréer” is pronounced as “a-greh-ay.”
The verb “agréer” originated from the Latin word “agradare,” which means “to please.” In everyday French, the verb “agréer” is commonly used in the Passé Simple (Simple Past) tense to express formal agreement or acceptance. This tense is mostly observed in written French, especially in literature or historical texts.
Here are three examples of “agréer” used in the Passé Simple tense along with their English translations:
- Ils agréèrent les conditions du contrat. (They accepted the terms of the contract.)
- Elle n’agréa pas la proposition qui lui fut faite. (She did not agree to the proposal that was made to her.)
- J’agréai les modifications apportées au projet. (I agreed to the modifications made to the project.)
Please note that the Passé Simple tense is rarely used in spoken French, and the verb “agréer” itself is more commonly used in its infinitive or other tenses such as the present or past tense.
