Subjonctif Imparfait (Subjunctive Imperfect) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb anatomiser
Introduction to the verb anatomiser
The English translation of the French verb anatomiser is “to dissect.” It is pronounced “ah-nah-toh-meez-ay” in the infinitive form.
The word “anatomiser” comes from the Greek words “ana” (up, back) and “temnein” (to cut), and was first used in French in the 16th century. In everyday French, it is most often used in a medical or scientific context, to describe the action of carefully cutting or examining the structure of an organism or body part.
In the Subjonctif Imparfait tense, the verb anatomiser is conjugated as follows:
- je/anatomisasse
- tu/anatomisasses
- il/anatomisât
- nous/anatomisassions
- vous/anatomisassiez
- ils/anatomisassent
Here are three examples of its usage in this tense:
- Il fallait que je l’anatomisasse pour comprendre sa structure interne. (I needed to dissect it to understand its internal structure.)
- Si tu me suivais en cours de biologie, tu aurais vu comment on anatomisait les grenouilles. (If you came with me to biology class, you would have seen how we dissected frogs.)
- Nous préférions que l’examen pratique ne comporte pas d’anatomisation de cadavres. (We preferred the practical exam not to include cadaver dissection.)
In these sentences, the verb anatomiser is used in the Subjonctif Imparfait tense to express a hypothetical or uncertain action in the past, often in a complex sentence with a dependent clause. In English, the equivalent tense would be the past subjunctive, as in “If you had gone to the biology class, you would have seen how we dissected frogs.”
