Subjonctif Passé (Subjunctive Past) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb courser
Introduction to the verb courser
The English translation of the French verb courser is “to chase” or “to hunt.” The infinitive form, courser, is pronounced as “koor-say.”
Courser comes from the Old French word “corser,” which means “to run quickly.” It is typically used to describe the act of pursuing or chasing after something or someone.
In the Subjonctif Passé tense, courser is used to express a past action or event that is uncertain or hypothetical. It is often used in conjunction with the word “que” to introduce a subordinate clause.
Here are three examples of courser used in the Subjonctif Passé tense:
- Il était possible que je l’aie coursu hier. (It was possible that I chased him yesterday.)
- Je doute qu’il ait coursu le chevreuil. (I doubt that he hunted the deer.)
- Nous espérions que tu eusses coursu le lapin. (We were hoping that you had chased the rabbit.)
In these examples, the verb courser is conjugated differently depending on the subject and the tense of the verb “avoir” in the subordinate clause. The Subjonctif Passé tense is often used to express doubt, possibility, or desire in French.
