Plus-que-parfait (Pluperfect) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb enrubanner
Introduction to the verb enrubanner
The English translation of the French verb enrubanner is “to wrap in ribbons.” It is pronounced as “ahn-roo-bah-nay.”
Enrubanner is derived from the French word “ruban” which means “ribbon.” The prefix “en-” adds the meaning of “in” or “on,” making the literal translation of enrubanner “to ribbon in/around.”
In everyday French, enrubanner is most often used in the Plus-que-parfait tense, which is the equivalent of the past perfect tense in English. This tense is used to express an action that was completed before another past action.
Examples:
- J’avais enrubanné les cadeaux avant que les invités arrivent. (I had wrapped the gifts before the guests arrived.)
- Elle s’était enrubannée de manière élégante pour le bal. (She had wrapped herself up elegantly for the ball.)
- Nous avions enrubanné les fleurs pour les mettre en bouquet. (We had wrapped the flowers to make a bouquet.)
In these examples, the action of enrubanner (wrapping) is completed before the action of receiving guests, getting ready for the ball, and making a bouquet. The Plus-que-parfait tense is used to show the sequence of events in the past.
In everyday French, enrubanner can also be used in the present tense to mean “to wrap in ribbons” or “to tie with ribbons,” and in the future tense to mean “to plan to wrap in ribbons.” For example: “Je vais enrubanner les cadeaux demain.” (I am going to wrap the gifts tomorrow.)
