Plus-que-parfait (Pluperfect) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb ajointer
Introduction to the verb ajointer
The English translation of the French verb ajointer is “to add” or “to join.” It is pronounced as “ah-zhwan-tay.”
Ajointer comes from the Old French word “agointer,” which comes from the Latin word “adjungere,” meaning “to join together.” It is most often used in everyday French to indicate the act of adding or joining something to another thing.
In the Plus-que-parfait tense, ajointer is used to indicate an action that had been completed before another past action. For example:
-
J’avais déjà ajointé des épices au plat avant qu’elle n’arrive. (I had already added spices to the dish before she arrived.)
-
Ils avaient ajointé une nouvelle chambre à leur maison avant de déménager. (They had added a new room to their house before moving.)
-
Elle avait ajointé une touche de couleur à sa tenue pour la soirée. (She had added a pop of color to her outfit for the evening.)
In these examples, ajointer is used to indicate an action that was completed before a specific point in the past. Without the Plus-que-parfait tense, the sentences would simply state that the action was completed in the past, without specifying when.
Overall, ajointer is a versatile verb that is commonly used in everyday French to indicate the act of adding or joining something. In the Plus-que-parfait tense, it is used to convey a sense of completion before a specific point in the past.
