Subjonctif Passé (Subjunctive Past) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb coexister
Introduction to the verb coexister
The English translation of the French verb coexister is “to coexist.” The infinitive form is pronounced “koh-egz-ee-steh.”
The word coexister has a Latin origin and is derived from the word “exister” meaning “to exist.” In French, it is most often used in the Subjonctif Passé tense, which is used to express a hypothetical or uncertain action that has already taken place.
Here are three simple examples of coexister being used in the Subjonctif Passé tense:
- Il est temps que nous ayons coexisté en paix. (It is time that we have coexisted peacefully.)
- Je doute que ces deux cultures aient jamais coexisté harmonieusement. (I doubt that these two cultures have ever coexisted harmoniously.)
- Il est possible que les dinosaures et les humains aient coexisté sur Terre. (It is possible that dinosaurs and humans have coexisted on Earth.)
In each of these examples, the Subjonctif Passé tense is used to express a hypothetical or uncertain situation in the past. The English translations use the simple past tense to convey the same meaning.
