Subjonctif Passé (Subjunctive Past) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb capéer
Introduction to the verb capéer
The English translation of the French verb capéer is “to hoodwink” or “to trick.” It is pronounced as “kah-pey-ay” in the infinitive form.
The origin of the word capéer is unclear, but it is believed to be derived from the word “cape,” meaning “head covering” or “cloak,” possibly referring to the idea of covering or hiding one’s true intentions.
In everyday French, capéer is most often used in the Subjonctif Passé tense, which is the past subjunctive tense. This tense is used to express actions or events that are uncertain or hypothetical, and may or may not have occurred.
Three simple examples of capéer in the Subjonctif Passé tense are:
- Il faut que tu aies été capé pour croire à une telle histoire. (You must have been hoodwinked to believe such a story.)
- J’aurais préféré que vous m’ayez capé plutôt que de me mentir. (I would have preferred if you had hoodwinked me instead of lying to me.)
- Qui aurait cru qu’il nous ait capés tous les deux avec sa fausse gentillesse ? (Who would have thought that he hoodwinked both of us with his false kindness?)
In these examples, capéer is used to convey the idea of being deceived or tricked in the past. The use of the Subjonctif Passé tense adds a sense of uncertainty or doubt to the actions or events described.
