Subjonctif Passé (Subjunctive Past) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb croiser
Introduction to the verb croiser
The English translation of the French verb croiser is “to cross” or “to intersect.” It is pronounced as “kwa-zay.”
Croiser comes from the Latin word “cruciare,” meaning “to torture,” and was originally used in the context of crossing oneself in a religious sense. In modern French, it is most commonly used to describe the action of crossing or intersecting paths or objects.
In the Subjonctif Passé tense, croiser is used to express a hypothetical or uncertain action that occurred in the past. It is formed by conjugating the auxiliary verb “avoir” or “être” in the Subjonctif Présent tense, followed by the past participle “croisé.”
Three examples of croiser in the Subjonctif Passé tense are:
- Il faut que je l’aie croisé hier soir. (I must have crossed paths with him last night.)
- J’aimerais que tu aies croisé ton cousin pendant ton voyage. (I would like for you to have crossed paths with your cousin during your trip.)
- Il est possible qu’ils se soient croisés dans la rue sans se reconnaître. (It is possible that they crossed each other in the street without recognizing each other.)
