Subjonctif Présent (Subjunctive Present) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb jeter
Introduction to the verb jeter
The English translation of the French verb jeter is “to throw” or “to toss”. It is pronounced as “zhe-tay” in the infinitive form.
Jeter comes from the Latin word “jectare”, which means “to throw” or “to hurl”. It entered the French language in the 12th century and has been used in various forms and tenses since then.
In everyday French, jeter is most commonly used in the Subjonctif Présent tense, which expresses a subjective or uncertain action or situation. It is often used with a conjunction such as “que” to indicate a desire, command, or doubt.
Three simple examples of jeter in the Subjonctif Présent tense are:
- Il faut que je jette ce vieux pull. (It’s necessary for me to throw away this old sweater.)
- Je préfère que tu jettes les déchets dans la poubelle. (I prefer that you throw the trash in the bin.)
- Il est possible que nous jetions une fête pour son anniversaire. (It is possible that we throw a party for his birthday.)
In these examples, the verb jeter is used to express a desire to discard something, a command to throw something away, and a possibility of organizing an event. In each case, the Subjonctif Présent tense conveys a level of uncertainty or subjectivity in the action.
