Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait (Subjunctive Pluperfect) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb chasser
Introduction to the verb chasser
The English translation of the French verb chasser is “to hunt” or “to chase.” The infinitive form is pronounced as “sha-say.”
The language origin of chasser can be traced back to the Latin word “captiare,” meaning “to take or capture.” It is often used in everyday French to refer to the action of hunting or chasing animals, but it can also be used in a figurative sense to mean “to pursue” or “to drive away.”
In the Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait tense, chasser is used to express a past action that was completed before another past action. It is formed by using the auxiliary verb “avoir” conjugated in the Subjonctif Imparfait tense, followed by the past participle of chasser.
