Subjonctif Passé (Subjunctive Past) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb considérer
Introduction to the verb considérer
The English translation of the French verb considérer is “to consider” or “to regard.” The infinitive form is pronounced as “koh(n)-see-deh-reh.”
The word “considérer” comes from the Latin verb “considerare,” meaning “to examine” or “to observe.” It entered the French language in the 13th century.
In everyday French, considérer is most often used in the Subjonctif Passé tense to express a hypothetical or uncertain action that has already taken place in the past. It is commonly used after expressions such as “il est possible que” (it is possible that), “il se peut que” (it may be that), or “il est probable que” (it is probable that).
- Il est possible que je l’aie considéré comme un ami proche. (It is possible that I considered him as a close friend.)
- Il se peut que nous ayons considéré cette option trop rapidement. (It may be that we considered this option too quickly.)
- Il est probable que tu aies considéré ses mots comme une insulte. (It is probable that you considered his words as an insult.)
In these examples, the Subjonctif Passé form “aie” or “ayons” is used before the past participle “considéré” to indicate that the action is uncertain or hypothetical. The English translation also uses the past tense to convey this idea.
