Traduire la voix passive
French and English have a number of important differences in verb tenses and moods, which can make translating the various conjugations from one language to the other a bit tricky, as explained in the intro to this lesson: French verb conjugation translations.
Please be sure to keep all of that in mind as you look at the verb donner (to give) conjugated into every passive French verb form. For a more detailed look, click the heading above any table for the in-depth French lesson.
You’ll notice some of the same English translations in the past tenses – this is because French has numerous verb forms, particularly in writing, that express distinctions that don’t really exist in English.
