Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait (Subjunctive Pluperfect) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb déverguer
Introduction to the verb déverguer
The English translation of the French verb déverguer is “to unbridle” or “to unyoke.” It is pronounced as “day-vair-guh-ay.”
Déverguer comes from the combination of the prefix “dé-” meaning “un-” and the word “verge” meaning “bridle” or “yoke.” It is derived from the Latin word “virga” which also means “rod” or “stick.” In everyday French, déverguer is most often used in the Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait tense, which is a literary tense used to express a past event that is hypothetical or contrary to reality.
Here are three examples of déverguer used in the Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait tense:
- J’aurais dévergué le cheval si j’avais su qu’il était dangereux. (I would have unbridled the horse if I had known it was dangerous.)
- Si tu avais dévergué le boeuf, tu n’aurais pas pu labourer le champ. (If you had unyoked the ox, you wouldn’t have been able to plow the field.)
- Il aurait préféré que je dévergue les vaches avant la soirée. (He would have preferred that I unyoke the cows before the party.)
In these sentences, the Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait tense is used to express a past event that did not actually happen. In the first example, the speaker did not unbridle the horse because they did not know it was dangerous. In the second example, the person did not unyoke the ox, so they were unable to plow the field. And in the third example, the person did not unyoke the cows, despite the preference of the person speaking.
