Subjonctif Passé (Subjunctive Past) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb abominer
Introduction to the verb abominer
The English translation of the French verb abominer is “to abhor” or “to detest.” It is pronounced “ah-boh-mee-nay.”
The word abominer comes from the Latin word “abominari” which means “to detest.” It entered the French language in the 12th century.
In everyday French, abominer is most often used in the Subjonctif Passé tense, which is used to express actions or states that are uncertain or hypothetical in the past. This tense is formed by using the auxiliary verb avoir or être in the Subjonctif Présent tense followed by the past participle of the main verb.
Three simple examples of using abominer in the Subjonctif Passé tense are:
- Il faut que j’aie abominé cette idée. (I must have abhorred this idea.)
- J’ai peur qu’elle n’ait abominé son mari. (I’m afraid she may have detested her husband.)
- Je suis contente que nous ayons abominé cette nourriture. (I’m glad we abhorred this food.)
In these examples, the Subjonctif Passé tense is used to express past actions or states that are uncertain or hypothetical. In the first sentence, the speaker is unsure if they actually abhorred the idea or not. In the second and third sentences, the use of the Subjonctif Passé tense indicates that the actions may or may not have actually happened.
In English, the Subjonctif Passé tense is often translated as “had” + past participle, “may have” + past participle, or “might have” + past participle.
