Plus-que-parfait (Pluperfect) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb putter
Introduction to the verb putter
The English translation of the French verb putter is “to putt.” In French, the infinitive form of putter is pronounced as “poo-teh.”
The word putter originated from the Old English word “puttere,” which means “one who puts,” and was derived from the Latin word “puteus,” meaning “well.” In modern French, putter is most often used in every day language as a sports term, specifically in the sport of golf, to describe the action of tapping or hitting a golf ball with a putter club.
In the Plus-que-parfait tense, putter is often used to describe a past action that was completed before another past action. For example:
- J’avais putté avant que la pluie ne commence à tomber. (I had putted before the rain started to fall.)
- Il avait putté dix fois avant de réussir enfin le coup parfait. (He had putted ten times before finally making the perfect shot.)
- Nous avions putté toute la journée, mais nous n’avions pas réussi à gagner le tournoi. (We had putted all day, but we didn’t manage to win the tournament.)
In these examples, the action of putté (putted) occurred before another past action (la pluie ne commence à tomber, réussir le coup parfait, and réussi à gagner le tournoi).
Overall, putter is most commonly used in its infinitive form or past participle form (putté) in the Plus-que-parfait tense in French. It is primarily used in the context of golf, but can also be used in other sports or situations where putting or tapping is involved.
