Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait (Subjunctive Pluperfect) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb braconner
Introduction to the verb braconner
The English translation of the French verb braconner is “to poach” or “to hunt illegally.” It is pronounced as “brah-koh-nay.”
The origin of the word braconner comes from the Old French word “bracun,” meaning “hunting dog,” and the suffix “-er,” which indicates the action of the verb. It can also be traced back to the Latin word “bracchium,” meaning “arm,” as hunting dogs were often trained to retrieve game with their forelegs.
In everyday French, braconner is most often used in the Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait tense, which expresses a hypothetical or unreal action that occurred before another action in the past. It is formed with the auxiliary verb “avoir” or “être” in the Imparfait tense, followed by the past participle of braconner (braconné).
Examples:
- J’aurais aimé que tu ne braconnes pas dans cette zone protégée. (I wish you had not poached in this protected area.)
- Si nous avions su que c’était illégal, nous n’aurions pas braconné ces animaux. (If we had known it was illegal, we would not have poached those animals.)
- Il était étonné qu’elle ait braconné sans se faire prendre. (He was surprised that she had hunted illegally without getting caught.)
