Conjugate the French Apercevoir (to catch sight of)
Conjugate the French Apercevoir (to catch sight of) Conjugating the French verbà apercevoirà is a little more complicated than other verbs. This is because it is an irregular verb and does not follow the most common patterns for conjugation. Apercevoirà means to catch sight of or to foresee and it is one of the French verbs of sensation or perception. While this lesson may be a little difficult, its a good one to understand as you continue to expand your vocabulary. Conjugating the French Verbà Apercevoir Verb conjugations are important when learning French because they help a phrase make sense. When we conjugate, we change the ending of the verb to coincide with the subject pronoun and the tense. Without these special endings, your French would not be grammatically correct. Irregular verbsà likeà apercevoirà pose a challenge to French students because they do not follow a typical pattern. However, the endings here also apply to the conjugations of other French verbs ending inà -cevoir. This includesà concevoirà (to conceive),à dà ©cevoirà (to disappoint),à percevoirà (to perceive), andà recevoirà (to receive). That said, you will probably have a more difficult time memorizing these verb conjugations. Yet, with enough practice, you will do just fine. Explore this chart and focus on the present and future tenses at first. The imperfect is not as important because you can often use theà passà © composà ©. For example, to say I foresee, you will say j aperà §ois. Subject Present Future Imperfect j aperois apercevrai apercevais tu aperois apercevras apercevais il aperoit apercevra apercevait nous apercevons apercevrons apercevions vous apercevez apercevrez aperceviez ils aperoivent apercevront apercevaient Apercevoirs Present Participle Theà present participleà ofà apercevoirà isà apercevant. The -ââ¬â¹antà ending is similar to the -ing we use in English. It can also act as an adjective, gerund, or noun if need be. Theà Passà © Composà © ofà Apercevoir In French, its very common to use theà passà © composà ©Ã for the past tense. This makes the conjugation easier, because you only have to remember the past participle for the verb. In this case, that isà aperà §u. You also need to use anà auxiliary verb, which is avoirà in this case. When we put this together with the past participle, we can say I foresaw. In French, this is jaià aperà §u. The ai is the conjugate forà avoir. More Conjugations forà Apercevoir Its not likeà apercevoirà isnt complicated enough, but we also have to add a few more conjugations into the mix. These are not as important, particularly theà passà © simple and imperfect subjunctive because these two are used in formal writing. However, you should be aware of them. You may use the subjunctive and conditional forms from time to time. The subjunctive is a verb mood that implies the uncertainty of the verb. The conditional means just that: the verb is dependent on the conditions.à In the case ofà apercevoir, these two forms are actually quite useful. Given the nature of the word as a perception that is not necessarily tangible nor true you may find use for these conjugations in conversation. If you tend to skip other subjunctives and conditionals, consider spending some time on these. Subject Subjunctive Conditional Pass Simple Imperfect Subjunctive j aperoive apercevrais aperus aperusse tu aperoives apercevrais aperus aperusses il aperoive apercevrait aperut apert nous apercevions apercevrions apermes aperussions vous aperceviez apercevriez apertes aperussiez ils aperoivent apercevraient aperurent aperussent One last conjugation and were done withà apercevoir. This time, it is the imperative, which is another mood often used in short, direct commands or requests. In the imperative conjugation, you can forget about the pronoun as it is implied in the verb. Instead of saying nousà apercevons, you can simply say apercevons. Imperative (tu) aperois (nous) apercevons (vous) apercevez Another Verb for to Foresee You might have noticed that apercevoirà ends withà voir, which means to see. The prefix changes it to foresee, which is exactly what happens withà prà ©voir. You can look atà prà ©voirà as pre-seeing to remember the correlation. Becauseà apercevoirà andà prà ©voirà both mean to foresee, you can use the latter in the right context. The conjugations are very similar, so learning how to conjugateà prà ©voirà as well may not be a bad idea.
