Subjonctif Présent (Subjunctive Present) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb computer
Introduction to the verb computer
The English translation of the French verb “computer” is “to compute” or “to calculate.” It is pronounced as “kom-pyoo-tay” in its infinitive form.
The word “computer” comes from the Latin word “computare,” meaning “to sum up.” It was first used in English in the 1640s to refer to a person who performs calculations, and later in the mid-20th century to refer to an electronic machine that performs calculations.
In everyday French, the verb “computer” is most often used in the Subjonctif Présent tense to express a subjective or uncertain action. Here are three simple examples of its usage in this tense, with their respective English translations:
- Il faut que je computer le budget avant de prendre une décision. (I need to calculate the budget before making a decision.)
- Je doute qu’il sache bien computer. (I doubt he knows how to calculate well.)
- Il est possible qu’elle ait besoin d’aide pour computer ses impôts. (It is possible that she needs help to calculate her taxes.)
