Plus-que-parfait (Pluperfect) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb interférer
Introduction to the verb interférer
The English translation of the French verb interférer is “to interfere.” The infinitive form is pronounced as “ahn-tehr-feh-reh.”
The word “interférer” comes from the Latin word “interferre,” which means “to strike against, to meddle with.” In everyday French, this verb is most often used to describe an action that disrupts or affects something else.
In the Plus-que-parfait tense (past perfect tense), interférer is used to describe an action that had already happened before another past event. Here are three examples of its usage in this tense:
-

(The students had interfered with the teachers’ work by making noise in the classroom.) -
Nous avions interféré avec leur déménagement en les aidant à transporter leurs meubles.
(We had interfered with their move by helping them transport their furniture.)
In all of these examples, interférer is used to describe an action that had already happened (interfering) before another past action (regretting, causing, helping).
