Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait (Subjunctive Pluperfect) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb défourner
Introduction to the verb défourner
The English translation of the French verb défourner is “to remove from the oven.” It is pronounced as “day-foor-nay.”
The language origin of défourner can be traced back to the combination of the prefix “de-” (meaning “from” or “out of”) and the verb “fourner” (meaning “to put in the oven”). It is most often used in everyday French in the Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait tense, which expresses a past action that was completed before another past action.
Three simple examples of défourner in the Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait tense are:
-
J’avais défourné le gâteau avant que tu n’arrives. (I had taken the cake out of the oven before you arrived.)
-
Elle était fâchée parce que j’avais défourné les biscuits trop tôt. (She was angry because I had taken the cookies out of the oven too early.)
-
Nous aurions oublié de défourner le poulet si tu ne nous l’avais pas rappelé. (We would have forgotten to take the chicken out of the oven if you hadn’t reminded us.)
Note: In these examples, the Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait tense is formed by using the auxiliary verb “avoir” or “être” in the Imparfait tense followed by the past participle “défourner.”
