Introduction to the verb embarquer
The English translation of embarquer is “to embark” or “to board.” The infinitive form is pronounced as [ɑ̃baʁke].
The language origin of embarquer can be traced back to the Old French word “embarquer,” which comes from the Latin word “imbarcare,” meaning “to put on a ship.” It is most often used in everyday French to talk about getting onto a means of transportation, such as a ship, plane, or train.
In the Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait tense, embarquer is used to express a completed action that took place before another past action. It is formed by using the auxiliary verb “avoir” in the Subjonctif imparfait tense followed by the past participle of embarquer, which is “embarqué.”
