Subjonctif Présent (Subjunctive Present) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb branler
Introduction to the verb branler
The English translation of the French verb branler is “to shake” or “to wobble.” It is pronounced as “brahn-leh.”
The language origin of branler comes from the Old French word “bran,” meaning “bran” or “husk,” and the suffix “-ler,” which is a frequentative ending used to indicate a repeated or continual action.
In everyday French, the Subjonctif Présent tense of branler is used to express a wish, doubt, or possibility. It is often used after certain conjunctions such as “que” or “avant que.”
Example 1: J’espère que tu ne branles pas pendant l’examen. (I hope you don’t shake during the exam.)
Example 2: Il faut qu’elle ne branle pas la table trop fort. (She must not shake the table too hard.)
Example 3: Avant que je branle l’arbre, il faut que je m’assure qu’il n’y a pas de nids d’oiseaux. (Before I shake the tree, I need to make sure there are no bird nests.)
In these examples, the Subjonctif Présent tense is used to express doubt or a condition that needs to be met before the action of shaking can occur. The English translations use the simple present tense to convey the same meaning.
