Subjonctif Présent (Subjunctive Present) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb intercéder
Introduction to the verb intercéder
The English translation of the French verb intercéder is “to intercede” or “to intervene.” The infinitive form of intercéder is pronounced “ahn-tair-say-day.”
The word intercéder comes from the Latin word “intercedere,” meaning “to intervene” or “to come between.” It is a combination of the prefix “inter,” meaning “between,” and the verb “cedere,” meaning “to go.”
In everyday French, intercéder is most often used in the Subjonctif Présent tense, which is used to express a wish, emotion, or uncertainty. It is often used when talking about someone asking for something on behalf of someone else.
Example 1: Je veux qu’il intercède en ma faveur. (I want him to intercede on my behalf.)
Example 2: Il faut que tu intercèdes pour moi auprès du directeur. (You need to intercede for me with the director.)
Example 3: Nous aimerions que vous intercédiez pour nous auprès du gouvernement. (We would like you to intercede for us with the government.)
In these examples, the Subjonctif Présent tense is used to express the speaker’s desire or request for someone else to intervene or intercede on their behalf. The English translations reflect this use of the verb in the present subjunctive tense.
