Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait (Subjunctive Pluperfect) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb avitailler
Introduction to the verb avitailler
The English translation of the French verb avitailler is “to supply” or “to provision.” It is pronounced “ah-vee-tie-ay.”
Avitailler comes from the Old French word “vitaille,” meaning “food” or “provisions,” which is derived from the Latin word “victualia.” It is most often used in everyday French in the Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait tense, which corresponds to the English past perfect subjunctive tense.
- Il fallait que j’eusse avitaillé le bateau avant de partir en mer. (I had to supply the boat before leaving for sea.)
- Nous avions déjà avitaillé la maison pour le week-end lorsque l’orage a frappé. (We had already provisioned the house for the weekend when the storm hit.)
- Avant que vous ne fussiez partis, j’avais avitaillé la voiture avec de l’essence. (Before you left, I had provisioned the car with gas.)
In these examples, the verb avitailler is used to describe the action of supplying or provisioning something in the past, before another action took place. The Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait tense is often used to express a hypothetical or uncertain action in the past.
