Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait (Subjunctive Pluperfect) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb harasser
Introduction to the verb harasser
The English translation of the French verb harasser is “to harass.” The infinitive form of the verb is pronounced “ha-ra-se.”
The word “harasser” comes from the Old French word “haras,” which referred to a group of hunting dogs. Over time, the meaning evolved to include the idea of constantly pursuing or bothering someone, as a pack of dogs would do to their prey.
In everyday French, the verb harasser is often used in the Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait tense to express a completed action in the past, with an emphasis on its consequences in the present. This tense is formed by using the subjunctive form of the auxiliary verb “avoir” or “être,” followed by the past participle of the main verb. It is typically used in conjunction with words like “si” (if) or “à condition que” (provided that) to express a hypothetical situation or condition.
Here are three examples of how harasser can be used in the Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait tense:
- J’étais heureux que tu aies arrêté de me harceler. (I was happy that you had stopped harassing me.)
- Si tu m’avais harcelé plus tôt, j’aurais pris des mesures légales. (If you had harassed me earlier, I would have taken legal action.)
- À condition que vous ayez cessé de harceler vos collègues, vous pourrez garder votre emploi. (Provided that you had stopped harassing your colleagues, you can keep your job.)
