Plus-que-parfait (Pluperfect) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb accéder
Introduction to the verb accéder
The English translation of the French verb accéder is to access. It is pronounced as “ahk-seh-deh”.
Accéder comes from the Latin word “accēdere”, meaning “to approach” or “to come near”. In everyday French, it is most often used in the Plus-que-parfait tense, which is the past perfect tense. This tense is used to talk about an action that was completed before another past action.
Here are three simple examples of its usage in the Plus-que-parfait tense:
- J’avais accédé au poste de directeur avant de démissionner. (I had accessed the position of director before resigning.)
- Elle avait accédé à mes demandes avant que je ne parte. (She had accessed my requests before I left.)
- Nous avions accédé à la réserve avant qu’elle ne soit fermée. (We had accessed the reserve before it was closed.)
In these examples, accéder is used to talk about a past action that was completed before another past action. With the use of the Plus-que-parfait tense, it emphasizes the sequence of events and shows that the access had already taken place before the other action.
