Subjonctif Présent (Subjunctive Present) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb fabriquer
Introduction to the verb fabriquer
The English translation of the French verb fabriquer is “to make” or “to manufacture.” It is pronounced as “fa-bree-kay.”
The language origin of fabriquer comes from the Latin word “fabricare,” which also means “to make” or “to fabricate.” It is most often used in everyday French in the Subjonctif Présent tense, which is used to express a desire, a wish, or a possibility.
Here are three simple examples of its usage in the Subjonctif Présent tense:
- J’aimerais que tu fabriques un gâteau pour le dessert. (I would like you to make a cake for dessert.)
- Il faut que nous fabriquions nos propres jouets en bois. (We need to make our own wooden toys.)
- Je préférerais que vous fabriquiez les invitations vous-même. (I would prefer it if you made the invitations yourself.)
Different from the present tense, the Subjonctif Présent tense uses a different conjugation of the verb. The conjugation for “je” and “tu” is the same as the present tense, but for “il/elle/on,” “nous,” and “vous,” the ending is “-ions,” “-iez,” and “-ent” respectively. For example, the present tense of “je fabrique” becomes “il/elle/on fabrique” in the Subjonctif Présent tense.
