Plus-que-parfait (Pluperfect) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb cohériter
Introduction to the verb cohériter
The English translation of the French verb cohériter is “to inherit jointly.” It is pronounced as “ko-e-reh-teer” in its infinitive form.
The word cohériter is derived from the combination of the prefix “co-” meaning “together” and the verb hériter meaning “to inherit.” It refers to the act of inheriting something jointly or in equal shares with others.
In everyday French, cohériter 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 was completed before another past action or point in time. Here are three simple examples of its usage in this tense:
- Nous avions cohérité de la maison de notre grand-père. (We had jointly inherited our grandfather’s house.)
- Vous aviez cohérité de la fortune de votre mère. (You had jointly inherited your mother’s fortune.)
- Ils avaient cohérité de l’entreprise familiale. (They had jointly inherited the family business.)
In these examples, cohériter is used to describe the past action of inheriting something jointly with others. The Plus-que-parfait tense is used to indicate that this action was completed before another past action or at a specific point in time. Its English translations would be “had inherited jointly” or “had jointly inherited.”
