Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait (Subjunctive Pluperfect) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb ceinturer
Introduction to the verb ceinturer
The English translation of the French verb ceinturer is “to belt” or “to surround.” The infinitive form of ceinturer is pronounced “sahn-tuh-ray.”
Ceinturer comes from the Latin word “cingere” meaning “to surround” or “to encircle.” It is most often used in everyday French to describe the act of putting a belt around something or someone. In the Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait tense, it is most commonly used to express an action that would have taken place before another past action if certain conditions were met.
Here are three simple examples of its usage in this tense with their respective English translations:
- J’aurais ceinturé ma robe si j’avais trouvé ma ceinture. (I would have belted my dress if I had found my belt.)
- Tu aurais ceinturé la valise si tu n’avais pas oublié la clef. (You would have surrounded the suitcase if you hadn’t forgotten the key.)
- Ils auraient ceinturé la ville si le mur n’était pas tombé. (They would have surrounded the city if the wall hadn’t fallen.)
In all of these examples, the action of ceinturer is conditional on certain circumstances or conditions being met. It expresses a past action that did not actually happen, but would have happened if the conditions had been different.
