Plus-que-parfait (Pluperfect) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb goujonner
Introduction to the verb goujonner
The English translation of the French verb goujonner is “to pin” or “to fasten with pins”. It is pronounced as “goo-jo-nay”.
Goujonner comes from the French word goujon, which means “pin” or “peg”. It is most often used in everyday French in the Plus-que-parfait tense, which is the past perfect tense in English. This tense is used to talk about an action that was completed before another past action.
Example 1:
J’avais goujonné les tissus ensemble avant de les coudre.
(I had pinned the fabrics together before sewing them.)
Example 2:
Tu avais goujonné les feuilles sur le tableau avant de les coller.
(You had pinned the leaves on the board before gluing them.)
Example 3:
Elle avait goujonné les photos sur le mur avant de les encadrer.
(She had pinned the photos on the wall before framing them.)
In each of these examples, the action of pinning (goujonner) was completed before the action that followed (sewing, gluing, framing). This is why the Plus-que-parfait tense is used.
