Subjonctif Passé (Subjunctive Past) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb carmer
Introduction to the verb carmer
The English translation of the French verb carmer is “to charm.” It is pronounced as “kahr-may.”
The word “carmer” comes from the Old French word “charmer,” which has its roots in the Latin word “carminare,” meaning “to enchant.” In everyday French, it is most often used in the Subjonctif Passé tense, which is used to express a hypothetical or uncertain action in the past.
Here are three simple examples of its usage in the Subjonctif Passé tense:
-
Il est possible que tu l’aies charmé avec tes belles paroles. (It is possible that you charmed him with your beautiful words.)
-
Je doute qu’il ait été charmé par cette pièce de théâtre. (I doubt that he was charmed by this play.)
-
Elle craignait que cette nouvelle ne m’ait pas charmé. (She was afraid that this news did not charm me.)
In these examples, the Subjonctif Passé form of carmer is used after expressions like “il est possible que” (it is possible that), “je doute que” (I doubt that), and “elle craignait que” (she was afraid that). The English translations also use the Subjunctive mood to convey the same idea of uncertainty or doubt.
