Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait (Subjunctive Pluperfect) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb bonder
Introduction to the verb bonder
The English translation of the French verb bonder is “to bind” or “to tie.” It is pronounced as “bohn-deh” in its infinitive form.
The word bonder originates from the Old French word “bonder,” meaning “to bind.” In everyday French, it is most often used in the Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait tense, which is the past subjunctive tense. This tense is used to express a hypothetical or uncertain action that occurred before another past action.
Here are three simple examples of bonder in the Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait tense, with their respective English translations:
- J’avais peur que tu n’aies pas bien bondi les cordes. (I was afraid that you had not tied the ropes well.)
- Il était heureux que nous ayons correctement bondé les paquets. (He was happy that we had properly bound the packages.)
- Elle craignait que vous n’eussiez pas bien bondé les ballots. (She was afraid that you had not properly bound the bales.)
In all of these examples, the Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait tense is used to express a past action (bonding/tieing) that occurred before another past action (being afraid, being happy, being afraid). It is often used in more complex sentences to express a condition or a wish in the past.
