Subjonctif Présent (Subjunctive Present) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb costumer
Introduction to the verb costumer
The English translation of the French verb costumer is “to dress up” or “to costume.” The infinitive form is pronounced “ko-stoo-me.”
The word costumer comes from the Old French word “coustumer,” meaning “to accustom.” It is most often used in everyday French in the Subjonctif Présent tense to express a hypothetical or uncertain action or situation.
Here are three simple examples of its usage in the Subjonctif Présent tense:
- Il faut que tu te costumes pour la soirée. (You need to dress up for the party.)
- Je veux que tu te costumes en prince charmant. (I want you to dress up as a prince charming.)
- Il est important que nous nous costumions tous pour le spectacle. (It is important that we all dress up for the show.)
In these examples, the subjunctive form of costumer is used to express a desired or necessary action. The English translations reflect this with the use of the modal verbs “need,” “want,” and “important” to convey the sense of obligation or importance in the subjunctive form.
