Subjonctif Présent (Subjunctive Present) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb remplacer
Introduction to the verb remplacer
The English translation of the French verb remplacer is “to replace.” The infinitive form is pronounced “rahn-play-say.”
The word remplacer comes from the Latin word “replacere,” which means “to fill again.” It is most often used in everyday French in the Subjonctif Présent tense, which expresses a possibility or uncertainty.
- Il faut que je le remplacer avant qu’il ne le remarque. (I need to replace it before he notices.)
- J’aimerais que tu me remplaces au bureau demain. (I would like you to replace me at the office tomorrow.)
- Il est nécessaire que nous remplacions cette vieille machine. (It is necessary for us to replace this old machine.)
In each of these examples, the Subjonctif Présent is used to express a desire, need, or necessity for replacement. In English, the same tense is often translated as “should” or “would.”
