Introduction to the verb exproprier
The English translation of the French verb exproprier is “to expropriate.” It is pronounced as “eks-pro-pree-ay.”

In everyday French, exproprier is used in the subjonctif plus-que-parfait tense to express a past action that is hypothetical or uncertain. This tense is formed by using the auxiliary verb “avoir” in the imperfect form, followed by the past participle “exproprié.”
