Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait (Subjunctive Pluperfect) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb cuber
Introduction to the verb cuber
The English translation of the French verb cuber is “to cube” or “to calculate the volume of something.” The infinitive form of cuber is pronounced “koo-beh.”
The word “cuber” comes from the Latin word “cubare,” meaning “to lie down.” In everyday French, cuber is most often used in the Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait tense, which is a compound tense that combines the subjunctive mood and the past tense. This tense is used to express an action that was completed before another action in the past.
Here are three simple examples of cuber in the Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait tense, with their respective English translations:
- J’avais cru que tu avais cubé la pièce. (I had thought that you had calculated the volume of the room.)
- Ils avaient souhaité que nous ayons cubé les valeurs. (They had wished that we had calculated the values.)
- Nous avions dû cuber les mesures avant de les envoyer. (We had to calculate the measurements before sending them.)
In these examples, cuber is used to express actions that were completed before other actions in the past, and the use of the Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait tense indicates that these actions were uncertain or hypothetical.
