Introduction to the verb alarmer
The English translation of the French verb alarmer is “to alarm.” It is pronounced as “ah-lahr-meh.”
The word “alarmer” comes from the Old French word “alarme” which means “to cause fear.” It is most often used in everyday French in the Subjonctif Passé tense, which is used to express a possibility, doubt, or uncertainty in the past.
Three simple examples of its usage in this tense are:

2) Je doute qu’elle se soit alarmée pour rien. (I doubt that she was alarmed for no reason.)
3) J’espère que nous ne nous sommes pas alarmés trop tôt. (I hope we didn’t alarm ourselves too early.)
In these examples, the Subjonctif Passé tense is used to express doubt, uncertainty, or possibility in the past. The verb alarmer is conjugated in the third person singular or plural depending on the subject of the sentence. The auxiliary verb “avoir” is used before the past participle of “alarmer” to form the tense.
