Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait (Subjunctive Pluperfect) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb décuivrer
Introduction to the verb décuivrer
The English translation of the French verb décuivrer is “to remove copper” or “to strip copper.” The infinitive form, décuivrer, is pronounced “day-kwee-vrer.”
The word décuivrer comes from the combination of the prefix “dé-” which means “to remove” and the noun “cuivre” which means “copper.” It is most often used in the context of removing copper from a surface, such as removing copper plating from a metal object.
In everyday French, décuivrer is most often used in the Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait tense to express a past action that is completed before another past action. This tense is formed by using the auxiliary verb “avoir” or “être” in the Subjonctif Imparfait tense, followed by the past participle of the verb.
Examples:
- J’aurais aimé que tu aies décuivré l’évier avant que je ne l’ai nettoyé. (I wish you had removed the copper from the sink before I cleaned it.)
- Il fallait que nous soyons décuivrés avant que la voiture ne soit prête. (We had to have the copper stripped before the car was ready.)
- Elle doutait que j’aie décuivré le vase avant qu’elle ne l’ait offert en cadeau. (She doubted that I had removed the copper from the vase before she gave it as a gift.)
