Passé Simple (Simple Past) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb coposséder
Introduction to the verb coposséder
The English translation of the French verb “coposséder” is “to co-own” or “to jointly own.” The pronunciation of the infinitive form “coposséder” is: koh-poh-zey-dey.
The verb “coposséder” is a combination of the prefix “co-” meaning “together” and the verb “posséder” meaning “to possess.” Therefore, “coposséder” specifically refers to the act of owning something together or jointly with someone else.
In everyday French, the Passé Simple tense (Simple Past) is rarely used in spoken language but is more commonly found in written literature or formal contexts. It indicates an action that occurred and was completed in the past.
Here are three simple examples of how “coposséder” can be used in the Passé Simple tense, along with their English translations:

Please note that the Passé Simple tense is rarely used in contemporary spoken French and is mainly found in literature or formal writing. In day-to-day conversations, the compound past tense (Passé Composé) is the preferred choice to express past actions.
