Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait (Subjunctive Pluperfect) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb débillarder
Introduction to the verb débillarder
The English translation of the French verb débillarder is “to unhook.” It is pronounced “day-bee-yar-day.”
The word débillarder comes from the Old French word “bille,” meaning “log” or “wooden beam.” In everyday French, débillarder is often used in the Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait tense to express actions that were hypothetical or desired in the past.
Example 1: J’aurais aimé que tu aies débillardé le rideau avant que je rentre. (I would have liked for you to have unhooked the curtain before I came home.)
Example 2: Il fallait que nous ayons débillardé ces tableaux avant qu’ils ne soient endommagés. (We needed to have unhooked those paintings before they got damaged.)
Example 3: Je regrette que tu n’aies pas débillardé cette étagère plus tôt. (I regret that you didn’t unhook this shelf earlier.)
In all of these examples, the action of unhooking (débillarder) did not actually happen in the past, but it was desired or necessary at that time. The Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait tense is used to express this idea of a hypothetical or desired action in the past.
