Plus-que-parfait (Pluperfect) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb intensifier
Introduction to the verb intensifier
The English translation of the French verb intensifier is “to intensify.” The infinitive form is pronounced as “ahn-tan-see-fee-yeh.”
Intensifier comes from the Latin word “intensificare,” meaning “to intensify.” In French, an intensifier is a word or phrase that increases the strength or degree of something. In everyday French, intensifiers are commonly used in the Plus-que-parfait tense to emphasize a past action or state.
Here are three examples of how intensifiers are used in the Plus-que-parfait tense:
- J’avais vraiment aimé ce film. (I had really loved this movie.)
- Tu avais incroyablement bien chanté hier soir. (You had incredibly sung last night.)
- Ils avaient extrêmement mal dormi pendant le voyage. (They had extremely slept poorly during the trip.)
In these examples, the intensifiers “vraiment” (really), “incroyablement” (incredibly), and “extrêmement” (extremely) are used to emphasize the degree or intensity of the action or state in the past. Without the intensifiers, the sentences would still be grammatically correct, but they would not convey the same level of emphasis or intensity.
