Subjonctif Passé (Subjunctive Past) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb articuler
Introduction to the verb articuler
The English translation of the French verb articuler is “to articulate.” The infinitive form of the verb is pronounced “ahr-tee-kew-lay.”
The word “articuler” comes from the Latin word “articulare,” meaning “to divide into joints.” In everyday French, the verb is most often used in the Subjonctif Passé tense, which is used to express actions or situations that are uncertain or hypothetical in the past.
Three examples of the usage of “articuler” in Subjonctif Passé tense are:
- J’espère qu’il a articulé ses idées clairement. (I hope he articulated his ideas clearly.)
- Il est possible que nous ayons mal articulé notre demande. (It is possible that we did not articulate our request well.)
- Je regrette que tu n’aies pas articulé ton opinion plus tôt. (I regret that you did not articulate your opinion earlier.)
In all of these examples, the verb “articuler” is used to express a specific action that may or may not have happened in the past. The Subjonctif Passé tense adds a sense of uncertainty or doubt to the sentence.
