Subjonctif Présent (Subjunctive Present) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb ragrafer
Introduction to the verb ragrafer
The English translation of the French verb ragrafer is “to staple” or “to restaple.” The infinitive form is pronounced as [ʁa.ɡʁa.fe].
The origin of the word ragrafer can be traced back to the verb “agrafer,” which means “to staple.” The prefix “re-” in ragrafer adds the meaning of doing again or repeating. It is most often used in everyday French in the Subjonctif Présent tense, which is used to express a subjective or uncertain action.
Here are three simple examples of its usage in this tense:
- Il faut que je ragrafe ces feuilles avant de les ranger. (I need to staple these papers before putting them away.)
- Je suggère que tu ragrafes le rapport avant de le rendre. (I suggest that you restaple the report before turning it in.)
- Nous préférons que vous ragrafiez les documents ensemble. (We prefer that you staple the documents together.)
In all of these examples, the Subjonctif Présent tense is used because the action of stapling is not certain or guaranteed. It expresses a desire or suggestion rather than a concrete action.
