Subjonctif Passé (Subjunctive Past) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb effectuer
Introduction to the verb effectuer
The English translation of the French verb effectuer is “to carry out” or “to effect.” It is pronounced as [eh-fek-tew-eh].
The word effectuer comes from the French word effet, meaning “effect.” It is derived from the Latin word effectus, which means “achievement” or “accomplishment.”
In everyday French, effectuer is often used in the Subjonctif Passé tense, which expresses a possible or hypothetical action that took place in the past. This tense is formed by using the auxiliary verb avoir or être in the subjonctif présent tense, followed by the past participle of the main verb.
Here are three simple examples of effectuer used in the Subjonctif Passé tense:
- J’espère que tu aies effectué ton travail à temps. (I hope you have carried out your work on time.)
- Il faut que nous ayons effectué toutes les vérifications avant demain. (We have to have carried out all the checks before tomorrow.)
- Je suis contente que tu aies effectué cette tâche avec succès. (I am happy that you have successfully carried out this task.)
In these sentences, effectuer is used to express an action that was completed in the past, but its effects or consequences are still relevant in the present. It is often used in formal or professional contexts to talk about completing tasks or achieving goals.
