Plus-que-parfait (Pluperfect) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb gélifier
Introduction to the verb gélifier
The English translation of the French verb gélifier is “to gel” or “to set”. It is pronounced as “zhay-lee-fyay”.
The word gélifier comes from the French word “gelée” which means “jelly” or “gelatin”. The suffix “-ier” is added to form a verb, meaning “to make into jelly” or “to cause to gel”. It is most often used in cooking and refers to the process of turning a liquid into a solid or semi-solid state, similar to the process of making jelly or gelatin.
In everyday French, gélifier is commonly used in the Plus-que-parfait tense, which is the past perfect tense. This tense is used to talk about an action that was completed before another past action.
Example 1:
J’avais gélifié la crème avant de la mettre au réfrigérateur. (I had gelled the cream before putting it in the refrigerator.)
Example 2:
Tu avais gélifié le jus de fruits pour en faire une gelée. (You had gelled the fruit juice to make it into a jelly.)
Example 3:
Elle avait gélifié la soupe avec de la gélatine. (She had gelled the soup with gelatin.)
In these examples, gélifier is used to describe the action of turning a liquid into a solid or semi-solid state, and the Plus-que-parfait tense is used to indicate that this action was completed before another past action. The English translation of the sentences would be the same in the past perfect tense.
