Subjonctif Passé (Subjunctive Past) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb coposséder
Introduction to the verb coposséder
The English translation of the French verb coposséder is “to co-own” or “to jointly possess.” The infinitive form is pronounced as “koh-po-se-deh.”
The word “coposséder” is a combination of the prefix “co-” meaning “together” and the verb “posséder” meaning “to possess.” It is derived from the Latin word “possidere,” which has the same meaning.
In everyday French, coposséder is most often used in the Subjonctif Passé tense to express a past action or event that is uncertain, hypothetical, or unlikely. It is also used to express doubt, desire, or emotion.
Example 1: Je doute qu’ils aient copossédé cette maison. (I doubt that they co-owned this house.)
Example 2: Il est possible qu’ils aient copossédé l’entreprise. (It is possible that they jointly owned the company.)
Example 3: Je regrette que nous n’ayons pas copossédé cette terre ensemble. (I regret that we did not co-own this land together.)
In these examples, the verb coposséder is conjugated in the Subjonctif Passé tense to agree with the subject of the sentence. The auxiliary verb “avoir” is used with the past participle “copossédé.”
