Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait (Subjunctive Pluperfect) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb chaperonner
Introduction to the verb chaperonner
The English translation of the French verb chaperonner is “to chaperone.” It is pronounced “sha-peh-roneh” in its infinitive form.
Chaperonner comes from the French word “chaperon,” meaning “hood” or “covering.” It originated from the Old French word “chape,” which also means “hood.”
In everyday French, chaperonner is most often used in the Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait tense, which is used to express an action that is hypothetical or uncertain in the past. This tense is formed by using the auxiliary verb “avoir” or “être” in the Plus-que-parfait tense followed by the past participle of the verb.
Here are three examples of chaperonner used in the Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait tense:
-
J’aurais chaperonné les enfants si j’avais été en meilleure santé. (I would have chaperoned the children if I had been in better health.)
-
Elle aurait chaperonné la soirée si elle avait été invitée. (She would have chaperoned the party if she had been invited.)
-
Nous serions arrivés à temps si tu avais chaperonné le groupe. (We would have arrived on time if you had chaperoned the group.)
In these examples, chaperonner is used to express the action of chaperoning in a hypothetical or uncertain past situation. The use of the Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait tense indicates that the action did not actually happen, but it is being imagined or speculated.
