Plus-que-parfait (Pluperfect) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb enrocher
Introduction to the verb enrocher
The English translation of the French verb enrocher is “to castle.” The infinitive form of the verb is pronounced as “awn-roh-shay.”
Enrocher comes from the combination of the prefix “en-” which means “in” or “into” and the noun “rocher” which means “rock.” This verb is most often used in the context of the game of chess, where it refers to the move of moving the king and rook (or castle) simultaneously. However, it can also be used in a more general sense to mean “to take shelter” or “to protect oneself.”
In the Plus-que-parfait tense, enrocher is used to express an action that had been completed in the past before another past action took place.
Example 1: J’avais enroché mon roi avant que mon adversaire n’ait commencé à attaquer. (I had castled my king before my opponent started to attack.)
Example 2: Tu avais enroché ta reine pour la protéger des attaques de ton adversaire. (You had castled your queen to protect her from your opponent’s attacks.)
