Passé Simple (Simple Past) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb gerber
Introduction to the verb gerber
The English translation of the French verb “gerber” is “to vomit.” The infinitive form of the verb “gerber” is pronounced as “zhehr-bay.”
The verb “gerber” originated from the Old French word “gerbel,” which meant “to vomit.” It is primarily used in everyday French in the Passé Simple tense, which is a literary past tense rarely used in spoken language. In informal speech, the Passé Composé is commonly used instead.

- Il gerba sur le sol. (He vomited on the floor.)
- Elle gerba après avoir trop mangé. (She vomited after eating too much.)
