Plus-que-parfait (Pluperfect) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb cycliser
Introduction to the verb cycliser
The English translation of the French verb cycliser is “to cycle.” It is pronounced: /see-klee-zay/
The word “cycliser” comes from the French noun “cycle,” which derives from the Latin “cyclus” meaning “circle” or “cycle.” In everyday French, “cycliser” is most often used in its infinitive form to refer to the act of riding a bicycle.
In the plus-que-parfait tense, “cycliser” is used to talk about an action that had already been completed before another past action. It is formed by using the auxiliary verb “avoir” conjugated in the imperfect tense, followed by the past participle of “cycliser.”
Examples:
- J’avais cyclisé avant qu’il ne pleuve. (I had cycled before it rained.)
- Tu avais cyclisé plusieurs kilomètres avant de te rendre compte que tu avais oublié tes clés. (You had cycled several kilometers before realizing you had forgotten your keys.)
