Plus-que-parfait (Pluperfect) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb criminaliser
Introduction to the verb criminaliser
The English translation of the French verb criminaliser is “to criminalize.” It is pronounced kree-mee-nah-lee-zay.
The language origin of criminaliser comes from the French word “criminel,” meaning criminal, and the suffix “-iser,” which is added to verbs to indicate the action of making something or someone into the specified noun. In other words, criminaliser means “to make something or someone into a criminal.”
In everyday French, criminaliser is most often used in the Plus-que-parfait tense, also known as the past perfect tense. This tense is used to describe an action that was completed before another past action. Three simple examples of its usage in this tense are:
- J’avais criminalisĂ© la possession de drogues avant que la loi ne soit changĂ©e. (I had criminalized drug possession before the law was changed.)
- Tu avais criminalisĂ© l’usage du tĂ©lĂ©phone en conduisant. (You had criminalized using the phone while driving.)
- Ils avaient criminalisĂ© le vol Ă l’Ă©talage depuis plusieurs annĂ©es. (They had criminalized shoplifting for several years.)
In these examples, the action of criminaliser (making something a criminal offense) was completed before the other past action (changing the law, using the phone while driving, and committing shoplifting). The Plus-que-parfait tense helps to show the sequence of events and emphasize the past action of criminaliser.
In summary, criminaliser is a verb meaning “to criminalize” and is derived from the French word for criminal. It is most often used in the Plus-que-parfait tense to indicate an action that was completed before another past action.
