Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait (Subjunctive Pluperfect) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb contre-murer
Introduction to the verb contre-murer
The English translation of the French verb contre-murer is “to wall up” or “to barricade.”
The infinitive form of contre-murer is pronounced “kohn-truh-muh-reh.”
The word contre-murer comes from the French prefix “contre” which means “against” and the verb “murer” which means “to wall.” It is often used in everyday French to describe the action of building a wall or barrier to block something or someone.
In the Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait tense, contre-murer is used to express a past possibility or hypothetical action. It is formed by conjugating the auxiliary verb “avoir” in the Subjonctif Imparfait tense followed by the past participle “muré.”

- J’avais peur qu’ils aient contre-muré la porte. (I was afraid that they had walled up the door.)
- Il avait fallu que tu aies contre-muré les fenêtres pour les protéger du vent. (You had to have walled up the windows to protect them from the wind.)
