Subjonctif Passé (Subjunctive Past) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb affourrager
Introduction to the verb affourrager
The English translation of the French verb affourrager is “to feed” or “to forage”. The infinitive form is pronounced ah-foo-rah-zhay.
The word affourrager comes from the Latin word “foris,” meaning “outdoors” or “outside.” It entered the French language in the 13th century and originally referred to the practice of providing food for animals that were grazing outside of their usual pastures. Over time, it came to be used more broadly to mean the act of feeding or foraging in general.
In everyday French, the verb affourrager is most commonly used in the Subjonctif Passé tense, which is used to express a past action that is uncertain or hypothetical. Here are three simple examples of its usage in this tense:
- Je doute que les animaux aient été affourragés correctement pendant notre absence. (I doubt that the animals were fed properly during our absence.)
- Il est possible que les chevaux aient été affourragés par les enfants. (It’s possible that the horses were fed by the children.)
- J’espère que les oiseaux aient été affourragés avant l’arrivée de l’hiver. (I hope that the birds were fed before the arrival of winter.)
In each of these examples, the Subjonctif Passé tense is used to express uncertainty or possibility regarding the past action of feeding or foraging.
