Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait (Subjunctive Pluperfect) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb camper
Introduction to the verb camper
The English translation of the French verb camper is “to camp” or “to stay in a campsite.” It is pronounced as “kam-pey” in its infinitive form.
The word “camper” comes from the Old French word “campeor” which means “soldier.” It then evolved to refer to someone who sets up a camp or stays in a temporary shelter. In everyday French, the verb camper is most often used in the Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait tense, which is a past subjunctive tense used to express an action that would have happened before a past event.
Example 1: J’aurais aimé que tu aies campé avec nous l’été dernier. (I would have liked for you to have camped with us last summer.)
Example 2: Il m’a dit qu’il aurait préféré que nous ayons campé dans les montagnes plutôt qu’à la plage. (He told me he would have preferred for us to have camped in the mountains instead of the beach.)
Example 3: Nous aurions aimé qu’elle ait campé avec nous pendant tout le mois de juillet. (We would have liked for her to have camped with us for the whole month of July.)
In these examples, the verb camper is used in the past tense to express a hypothetical or unreal action that would have taken place before the main event. In English, the verb is translated as a past perfect tense (have + past participle).
