Subjonctif Présent (Subjunctive Present) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb emballer
Introduction to the verb emballer
The English translation of the French verb emballer is “to wrap/pack”. It is pronounced as ahm-ba-leh in its infinitive form.
The word emballer comes from the Old French word “embaler” which means “to put into a bale”. It is derived from the French word “balle” which means “a bundle”. In everyday French, emballer is used in the Subjonctif Présent tense to express a hypothetical or uncertain action.
Three examples of emballer in the Subjonctif Présent tense are:
- Je veux que tu m’emball es les cadeaux. (I want you to wrap the gifts for me.)
- Il faut que nous les emball ions avant qu’ils ne s’abîment. (We need to pack them before they get damaged.)
- J’aimerais que vous les emball iez avec soin. (I would like you to wrap them carefully.)
In each of these examples, emballer is used to express a desired or necessary action in the present, but with a degree of uncertainty or subjectivity. In English, the verb “to wrap/pack” would be in the indicative form, but in French, it is conjugated in the Subjonctif Présent to convey a sense of doubt or possibility.
