Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait (Subjunctive Pluperfect) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb assermenter
Introduction to the verb assermenter
The English translation of the French verb assermenter is “to swear in” or “to take an oath.” The infinitive form is pronounced “ah-sehr-mahn-tay.”
The word assermenter comes from the French prefix “asse-” meaning “to” and the Latin word “juramentum” meaning “oath.” In everyday French, assermenter is most often used in the Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait tense, which is the compound past subjunctive tense. This tense is used to express a hypothetical past action or situation that has already been completed.
Three simple examples of assermenter in the Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait tense are:
-
J’avais assermenté mon témoignage avant le procès. (I had sworn in my testimony before the trial.)
-
Elle avait assermenté de protéger la vérité à tout prix. (She had taken an oath to protect the truth at all costs.)
-
Ils avaient assermenté de garder le secret jusqu’à leur mort. (They had sworn to keep the secret until their death.)
In these examples, the past tense of the auxiliary verb “avoir” is used, followed by the past participle “assermenté” to form the Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait tense. The verb is often used in legal or official contexts, indicating the importance and solemnity of the oath being taken.
