Introduction to the verb fracturer
The English translation of the French verb fracturer is “to fracture” or “to break.” It is pronounced “frak-tyuh-reh” in its infinitive form.
Fracturer comes from the Latin word “fractura,” meaning “a break” or “a fracture.” It entered the French language in the late 14th century and has been used in everyday speech since then. In French, it is most often used in the Plus-que-parfait tense, which is the past perfect tense in English.
Here are three simple examples of its usage in the Plus-que-parfait tense:
-
J’avais fracturé ma jambe en faisant du sport. (I had fractured my leg while playing sports.)
-

-
Nous avions fracturé la vitre pour entrer dans la maison. (We had broken the window to enter the house.)
In these examples, the Plus-que-parfait tense is used to talk about an action that happened before another past action. It is formed by using the auxiliary verb “avoir” in the imperfect tense followed by the past participle of “fracturer.”
