Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait (Subjunctive Pluperfect) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb désarmer
Introduction to the verb désarmer
The English translation of désarmer is “to disarm.” It is pronounced as “day-zar-may.”
The word désarmer comes from the Latin word “disarmare,” which means to take away weapons. It entered the French language in the 12th century and has been used in its current form since the 16th century.
In everyday French, désarmer is most often used in the Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait tense, which expresses a hypothetical action that would have already been completed in the past. It is typically used in subordinate clauses and follows a conditional clause.
Three simple examples of désarmer in the Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait tense are:
- J’aurais aimé que tu aies désarmé avant de t’en aller. (I would have liked for you to have disarmed before leaving.)
- Il était important que nous ayons désarmé les bombes avant qu’elles n’explosent. (It was important for us to have disarmed the bombs before they exploded.)
- Elle avait peur que les soldats n’aient désarmé les rebelles avant son arrivée. (She was afraid that the soldiers had disarmed the rebels before her arrival.)
In these examples, the verb désarmer is conjugated in the Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait tense to match with the past tense of the auxiliary verb “avoir.” The word order in these sentences follows: subject + auxiliary verb + past participle of désarmer + subordinate conjunction + subject + auxiliary verb + past participle + main clause.
