Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait (Subjunctive Pluperfect) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb loucher
Introduction to the verb loucher
The English translation of the French verb loucher is “to squint” or “to have a lazy eye”. It is pronounced “loo-shay” in the infinitive form.
The word “loucher” comes from the Latin word “lucere” meaning “to shine”. In everyday French, it is most often used to describe someone who has a lazy eye or has difficulty focusing their eyes in the same direction.
In the Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait tense, loucher is used to describe a past action that is hypothetical or uncertain. Here are three simple examples of its usage:
- Je doutais que tu aies louché pendant la réunion. (I doubted that you had squinted during the meeting.)
- Il était possible qu’elle eût louché lorsqu’elle portait des lentilles de contact. (It was possible that she had a lazy eye when she wore contact lenses.)
- Nous avions peur que le bébé ait louché à cause d’une infection oculaire. (We were afraid that the baby had a lazy eye due to an eye infection.)
In all three examples, the action of loucher is uncertain or hypothetical. The subjonctif plus-que-parfait tense is often used in French to express doubt or uncertainty about a past action.
