Subjonctif Passé (Subjunctive Past) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb convoyer
Introduction to the verb convoyer
The English translation of the French verb convoyer is “to convoy.” It is pronounced as “kon-vwah-yay.”
The language origin of convoyer can be traced back to the Latin word “convehere,” which means “to carry together.” It entered the French language in the 14th century and has since evolved to mean “to escort or transport something or someone in a group.”
In everyday French, the verb convoyer is most often used in the Subjonctif Passé tense to express a past action that is uncertain or hypothetical. This tense is formed by using the subjunctive form of the auxiliary verb “avoir” or “être,” followed by the past participle of convoyer.
Three simple examples of its usage in this tense are:
- Il est possible que nous ayons convoyé les marchandises hier. (It is possible that we convoyed the goods yesterday.)
- Je doute qu’il ait convoyé les voyageurs en toute sécurité. (I doubt that he convoyed the travelers safely.)
- Il est peu probable qu’elle soit arrivée à temps si nous ne l’avions pas convoyée. (It is unlikely that she would have arrived on time if we hadn’t convoyed her.)
In these examples, the Subjonctif Passé tense is used to express doubt, possibility, or a condition that may or may not have been fulfilled.
