Subjonctif Présent (Subjunctive Present) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb clisser
Introduction to the verb clisser
The English translation of the French verb clisser is “to slide”. The infinitive form, “clisser”, is pronounced “klee-say”.
The word clisser comes from the Old French word “gliscier” which means “to slip or slide”. It is most often used in everyday French in the Subjonctif Présent tense, which is used to express a wish, a doubt, a possibility, or a hypothetical situation.
Here are three examples of clisser in the Subjonctif Présent tense:
- Il faut que je clisse sur la glace avec précaution. (I must slide on the ice carefully.)
- Je préférerais que tu clisses ta main dans la mienne. (I would prefer if you slid your hand into mine.)
- Nous recommandons que vous clissiez vos pieds en arrière pour éviter de tomber. (We recommend that you slide your feet back to avoid falling.)
In these examples, clisser is used to express a desire (1), a preference (2), and a recommendation (3). The Subjonctif Présent tense is often used after certain verbs, such as “falloir” (to be necessary), “préférer” (to prefer), and “recommander” (to recommend).
