Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait (Subjunctive Pluperfect) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb amplifier
Introduction to the verb amplifier
The English translation of the French verb amplifier is “to amplify.” It is pronounced “ahn-plee-fee-ay.”
Amplifier comes from the Latin word “amplificare” which means “to enlarge” or “to increase.” It entered the French language in the 15th century and was originally used in music to describe the process of increasing the volume of sound.
In everyday French, the verb amplifier is often used in the Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait tense, which is used to express a hypothetical action that would have already happened in the past. This tense is often used to express regret, doubt, or a conditional situation.
Three examples of the usage of amplifier in this tense are:
-
J’aurais aimé que tu aies amplifié mes propos lors de la réunion. (I wish you had amplified my words during the meeting.)
-
Il aurait fallu que nous ayons amplifié nos efforts pour réussir. (We should have amplified our efforts to succeed.)
-
Je regrette que vous ayez amplifié le problème au lieu de le résoudre. (I regret that you amplified the problem instead of solving it.)
In all of these examples, the verb amplifier expresses a hypothetical situation that has already happened in the past. It is used to convey a feeling of regret or to suggest that something could have been different if a certain action had been taken.
