Passé Simple (Simple Past) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb héberger
Introduction to the verb héberger
The English translation of the French verb “héberger” is “to accommodate” or “to host.” The infinitive form “héberger” is pronounced as “ay-ber-zhay.”
The verb “héberger” comes from the Latin word “hospitare,” which means “to host” or “to receive as a guest.” In everyday French, “héberger” is often used to refer to accommodating or hosting someone, typically in the context of providing lodging or shelter. It can be used both for temporarily hosting guests or providing accommodation for a longer duration.
In the Passé Simple (Simple Past) tense, “héberger” is less commonly used in everyday French, as it tends to be replaced by the more commonly used Passé Composé (Present Perfect) tense. However, here are three simple examples of its usage in the Passé Simple tense, along with their English translations:
- J’hébergeai mes amis chez moi pendant les vacances. (I accommodated my friends at my place during the holidays.)
- L’hôtel hébergea plus de cent personnes la nuit dernière. (The hotel hosted over a hundred people last night.)
- Elle hébergea son frère pendant plusieurs semaines lorsqu’il était en recherche d’appartement. (She accommodated her brother for several weeks when he was searching for an apartment.)
Note: In everyday French, the Passé Composé tense (e.g., “J’ai hébergé mes amis”) is more commonly used to express past actions than the Passé Simple tense.
