Plus-que-parfait (Pluperfect) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb rapiéceter
Introduction to the verb rapiéceter
The English translation of the French verb rapiéceter is “to patch up” or “to mend.” It is pronounced as “ra-pee-se-tay.”
The word rapiéceter comes from the French word “pièce,” meaning “piece,” and the verb “coudre,” meaning “to sew.” It is most often used in everyday French in the Plus-que-parfait tense, which is the past perfect tense in English.
The Plus-que-parfait tense is used to talk about an action that was completed before another action in the past. It is formed with the auxiliary verb “avoir” or “être” in the imperfect tense, followed by the past participle of the main verb.
Examples of rapiéceter in the Plus-que-parfait tense are:
- J’avais rapiéceté mon pantalon avant de partir en vacances. (I had patched up my pants before going on vacation.)
- Elle était déjà partie lorsque j’ai rapiéceté son pull. (She had already left when I patched up her sweater.)
- Nous avions rapiéceté le toit de la maison avant l’arrivée de la pluie. (We had patched up the roof of the house before the rain came.)
In all of these examples, the action of patching up or mending happened before another action in the past. In English, the Plus-que-parfait tense is equivalent to the past perfect tense, which also expresses an action that was completed before another action in the past.
