Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait (Subjunctive Pluperfect) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb corriger
Introduction to the verb corriger
The English translation of the French verb corriger is “to correct.” It is pronounced koh-ree-zhay (IPA: /kɔʁiʒe/).
The word corriger comes from the Latin word “corrigere,” meaning “to set right.” It entered the French language in the 12th century.
In everyday French, the verb corriger is most often used in the Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait tense, which expresses an action that was completed in the past and is prior to another past action. This tense is formed by using the subjunctive form of the auxiliary verb “avoir” or “être,” followed by the past participle of the main verb.
Three simple examples of corriger in the Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait tense are:
-
J’espérais que tu eusses corrigé tes erreurs avant l’examen. (I hoped that you had corrected your mistakes before the exam.)
-

-
Il était important que vous eussiez corrigé ces problèmes avant la réunion. (It was important that you had corrected these issues before the meeting.)
In all of these examples, the Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait tense is used to express an action that was completed before another action in the past. The use of the verb corriger in this tense shows that the act of correcting was completed before the specified event or time.
