Plus-que-parfait (Pluperfect) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb blesser
Introduction to the verb blesser
The English translation of the French verb blesser is “to hurt” or “to injure.” It is pronounced as “bless-ay” in the infinitive form.
The word blesser comes from the Latin word “blessare” which means “to wound.” It is most often used in everyday French in the Plus-que-parfait tense, which is the past perfect tense in English. This tense is used to talk about an action that was completed before another action in the past.
Here are three simple examples of blesser in the Plus-que-parfait tense:
- J’avais blessé mon genou en faisant du sport. (I had hurt my knee while playing sports.)
- Elle avait blessé son pied en marchant sur des cailloux. (She had injured her foot while walking on rocks.)
- Ils avaient blessé leur voisin en jouant au ballon. (They had injured their neighbor while playing with a ball.)
In these examples, blesser is used to describe an action that had already happened before another action in the past. The Plus-que-parfait tense is formed by using the auxiliary verb “avoir” in the imperfect tense followed by the past participle of blesser, which is “blessé.”
