Plus-que-parfait (Pluperfect) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb coposséder
Introduction to the verb coposséder
The English translation of the French verb coposséder is “to co-own” or “to jointly possess.” The infinitive form of this verb is pronounced as “ko-po-seh-deh.”
The word “coposséder” is composed of the prefix “co-” meaning “together” and the verb “posséder” meaning “to possess.” It is a regular -er verb and is used to describe the act of owning or possessing something together with one or more people.
In everyday French, coposséder is most often used in the Plus-que-parfait tense, which is the past perfect tense. This tense is used to describe an action that had already been completed before another past action.
Example 1: Nous avions copossédé cette maison pendant cinq ans avant de la vendre. (We had co-owned this house for five years before selling it.)
Example 2: Ils avaient copossédé une entreprise qui a fait faillite en 2010. (They had jointly owned a company that went bankrupt in 2010.)
Example 3: J’avais copossédé une voiture avec mon frère avant d’en acheter une nouvelle. (I had co-owned a car with my brother before buying a new one.)
In these examples, the Plus-que-parfait tense is used to show that the action of co-ownership had already been completed before a specific event in the past. The use of “avoir” as the auxiliary verb and the past participle form “copossédé” indicate the past perfect tense.
