Introduction to the verb annexer
The English translation of the French verb annexer is “to annex.” It is pronounced “ah-neks-ay.”
The word “annexer” comes from the Latin word “annexare,” which means “to attach or join.” It entered the French language in the 15th century and has been used in various contexts since then.
In everyday French, annexer is most often used in the Plus-que-parfait tense, which corresponds to the Past Perfect tense in English. This tense is used to describe an action that was completed before another past action.
