Subjonctif Passé (Subjunctive Past) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb daguer
Introduction to the verb daguer
The English translation of the French verb daguer is “to photograph.” It is pronounced as “da-geh.”
The origin of the verb daguer comes from the name of Louis Daguerre, a French inventor who pioneered the early form of photography known as the daguerreotype. The verb daguer is most often used in everyday French in the Subjonctif Passé tense, which expresses a past action or state in a subjunctive mood.
Here are three examples of how daguer can be used in the Subjonctif Passé tense:
- Il est temps que je t’aie dagué. (It’s time for me to have photographed you.)
- Je suis contente que tu aies dagué le paysage. (I am happy that you photographed the landscape.)
- Il est important que nous ayons dagué ces moments précieux. (It is important that we have photographed these precious moments.)
In these examples, the Subjonctif Passé tense is used in conjunction with the verb avoir (to have) to express a past action or state in a subjunctive mood. The verb daguer is conjugated to agree with the subject of the sentence, which is in the imperfect subjunctive form in these examples.
In everyday French, the verb daguer is commonly used to talk about taking photos or being photographed. It can also be used in a figurative sense to mean “to capture” or “to immortalize” a moment or feeling.
