Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait (Subjunctive Pluperfect) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb croquer
Introduction to the verb croquer
The English translation of the French verb croquer is “to crunch” or “to bite/cut with the teeth.” The infinitive form of croquer is pronounced as “kro-kay.”
Croquer comes from the Latin word “croccare” meaning “to crunch” or “to crackle.” It is most commonly used in everyday French to describe the action of biting or crunching into something, often food. In the Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait tense, croquer is used to express a past action that was imagined or desired in the past.
Example 1: “Je regrettais que tu aies croqué tous les biscuits.” (I regretted that you had eaten all the cookies.)
Example 2: “Il souhaitait que nous ayons croqué dans les pommes ensemble.” (He wished that we had bitten into the apples together.)
Example 3: “Elle espérait qu’ils eussent croqué un morceau de pain avant le dîner.” (She hoped that they had taken a bite of bread before dinner.)
In each of these examples, the action of croquer (biting or eating) is expressed as a desired or imagined past action. In English, the verbs “had” and “have” are used to convey this tense in similar sentences.
