Subjonctif Présent (Subjunctive Present) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb bêcher
Introduction to the verb bêcher
The English translation of the French verb bêcher is “to dig”. The infinitive form is pronounced as “bay-shay”.
The word bêcher comes from the Old French word “bechier” which means “to dig up”. It is derived from the Latin word “biscutus”, meaning “to cut into pieces”. In everyday French, bêcher is primarily used as a transitive verb, meaning that it requires a direct object to complete its meaning. It is commonly used in the Subjonctif Présent tense to express a desire or an uncertain action.
Here are three examples of bêcher in the Subjonctif Présent tense, along with their English translations:
- Il faut que je bêche le jardin demain. (It is necessary for me to dig the garden tomorrow.)
- Je doute qu’il bêche la terre avec ses mains. (I doubt that he is digging the earth with his hands.)
- J’aimerais que tu bêches plus profondément cette fois-ci. (I would like for you to dig deeper this time.)
In all of these examples, bêcher is used to express a desire or an uncertain action in the present tense, and is followed by the subjonctif mood to convey a sense of doubt or uncertainty.
