Introduction to the verb coffrer
The English translation of the French verb coffrer is “to box up” or “to pack (something) in a box”. The infinitive form of coffrer is pronounced “kof-reh”.
The word coffrer comes from the French noun “coffre”, meaning “box” or “chest”. It is most often used in everyday French in the Subjonctif Passé tense, which is used to express a hypothetical or uncertain action in the past.

- Il est possible que nous ayons mal coffré les vêtements et qu’ils soient tous froissés maintenant. (It’s possible that we packed the clothes poorly and now they’re all wrinkled.)
- Je doute qu’elle ait déjà coffré toutes ses affaires pour le déménagement. (I doubt she has already packed all her things for the move.)
In these examples, the Subjonctif Passé tense is used to express a possibility, a doubt, or a wish in the past. The verb coffrer is conjugated with the auxiliary verb “avoir” and the past participle “coffré” to match with the subject of the sentence.
