Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait (Subjunctive Pluperfect) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb bifurquer
Introduction to the verb bifurquer
The English translation of the French verb bifurquer is “to branch off” or “to fork.” It is pronounced as “beef-oor-kay” in the infinitive form.
Bifurquer comes from the Latin word “bifurcare,” meaning “to divide into two branches.” It is most often used in everyday French to describe a physical splitting or branching off, but it can also be used in a figurative sense to indicate a change in direction or decision.
In the Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait tense, bifurquer is used to express a hypothetical or uncertain action that occurred before another past action. It is formed by using the auxiliary verb “avoir” in the Subjonctif Imparfait tense followed by the past participle “bifurqué.”
Here are three examples of bifurquer in the Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait tense:
- J’étais content qu’il eût bifurqué vers le sud. (I was glad that he had branched off towards the south.)
- Elle avait peur que je n’eusse bifurqué sans elle. (She was afraid that I had branched off without her.)
- Nous étions surpris qu’ils eussent bifurqué si tôt. (We were surprised that they had branched off so early.)
