Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait (Subjunctive Pluperfect) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb aiguilleter
Introduction to the verb aiguilleter
The English translation of the French verb aiguilleter is “to prick” or “to poke.” The infinitive form is pronounced “ay-gwee-yet-ay.”
The word aiguilleter comes from the noun aiguille, meaning “needle,” and the suffix -er, which is added to verbs to form the infinitive. It is most often used in everyday French in the Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait tense, which is used to express an action that happened before another action in the past. This tense is formed by using the auxiliary verb “avoir” in the Subjonctif Imparfait tense, followed by the past participle of the main verb.
Example 1: J’avais aiguilleté mon doigt avant qu’il n’ait commencé à saigner. (I had pricked my finger before it started bleeding.)
Example 2: Elle avait aiguillété les ballons avant que la fête ne soit annulée. (She had poked the balloons before the party was cancelled.)
Example 3: Nous avions aiguilleté les épingles avant qu’elles ne soient utilisées. (We had pricked the pins before they were used.)
In these examples, aiguilleter is used to describe an action that had already happened before another action in the past. The Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait tense is often used in narrations or storytelling to add depth and detail to the timeline of events.
