Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait (Subjunctive Pluperfect) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb housser
Introduction to the verb housser
The English translation of the French verb housser is “to raise” or “to lift up”. It is pronounced as “oo-seh” in the infinitive form.
The word housser comes from the Old French word “hoser” which means “to lift” or “to carry”. It is most often used in everyday French in the Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait tense, which is used to express a past action that would have taken place if certain conditions had been met.
Three simple examples of its usage in this tense are:
- Il aurait fallu que tu aies houssé le canapé avant que les déménageurs n’arrivent. (You should have lifted up the couch before the movers arrived.)
- Si j’avais suivi tes conseils, j’aurais houssé ma valise plus tôt. (If I had followed your advice, I would have raised my suitcase earlier.)
- Elle aurait préféré que vous eussiez houssé le poids pour elle. (She would have preferred if you had lifted the weight for her.)
These examples show how housser is used in the Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait tense to express past actions that did not happen because certain conditions were not met.
