Plus-que-parfait (Pluperfect) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb difformer
Introduction to the verb difformer
The English translation of the French verb difformer is “to distort” or “to deform.” It is pronounced as “deefor-may.”
Difformer comes from the Latin word “deformare,” meaning “to shape” or “to form.” It is most often used in everyday French in the Plus-que-parfait tense, which is the past perfect tense. This tense is used to describe an event that has happened before another past event.
Three simple examples of difformer used in the Plus-que-parfait tense are:
- J’avais difformé les chiffres avant de les donner au professeur. (I had distorted the numbers before giving them to the teacher.)
- Tu avais difformé la lettre avant de la poster. (You had deformed the letter before mailing it.)
- Il avait difformé le vase en le faisant tomber. (He had deformed the vase by dropping it.)
In these examples, the Plus-que-parfait tense is used to show that the action of distorting/deforming had already taken place before another past event (giving the numbers to the teacher, mailing the letter, and dropping the vase).
