Introduction to the verb coffrer
The English translation of the French verb coffrer is “to put/shut away” or “to box/case in.” It is pronounced as “koh-freh.”
Coffrer comes from the Old French word “coffre,” meaning “chest” or “box.” It is most commonly used in everyday French in the Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait tense, which is a past subjunctive tense used to express a hypothetical or uncertain action that took place before another past action.
Three examples of using coffrer in the Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait tense are:
- J’avais coffré les bijoux avant qu’il ne vienne chez moi. (I had put away the jewels before he came to my house.)
- Nous aurions coffré le chien si nous avions su qu’il existe une allergie dans la famille. (We would have put the dog away if we had known there was an allergy in the family.)
- Elle avait coffré tous ses souvenirs avant de déménager. (She had boxed/cased in all her memories before moving.)
In these examples, coffrer is used to indicate an action that was completed before another past action or event. It is used with the auxiliary verb “avoir” and the past participle “coffré” to form the Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait tense.
