Introduction to the verb immobiliser
The English translation of the French verb “immobiliser” is “to immobilize.” The infinitive form of “immobiliser” is pronounced as /ɪˈmoʊbəˌlaɪz/.
The word “immobiliser” has its origins in the Latin word “immobilis,” meaning “motionless” or “unmovable.” In everyday French, “immobiliser” is most commonly used in the Passé Simple (Simple Past) tense when referring to actions that occurred in the past and are now complete.

- L’agent immobilier immobilisa la vente de la maison. (The real estate agent immobilized the sale of the house.)
- Les manifestants furent immobilisés par la police. (The protesters were immobilized by the police.)
In these examples, “immobiliser” is used in its transitive form, meaning that it requires a direct object (e.g., “ma voiture,” “la vente de la maison,” “les manifestants”). The subject of the sentence (e.g., “j’,” “l’agent immobilier,” “les manifestants”) performed the action of immobilizing the object.
