Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait (Subjunctive Pluperfect) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb diagnostiquer
Introduction to the verb diagnostiquer
The English translation of the French verb diagnostiquer is “to diagnose.” It is pronounced “dee-ahg-nos-ti-kay.”
The language origin of diagnostiquer can be traced back to the Greek word “diagnōsis,” meaning “distinguishing” or “discernment.” In French, it is most commonly used as a transitive verb, meaning it requires a direct object.
In everyday French, diagnostiquer is often used in the Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait tense, which is used to express a past event that is hypothetical or uncertain. It is formed by using the auxiliary verb “avoir” or “être” in the imperfect subjunctive form, followed by the past participle of the main verb.
Three simple examples of diagnostiquer in the Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait tense could be:
- Il aurait fallu que le médecin ait diagnostiqué la maladie plus tôt. (It would have been necessary for the doctor to have diagnosed the illness earlier.)
- Nous aurions aimé que le spécialiste ait diagnostiqué le problème avant qu’il ne devienne plus grave. (We would have liked for the specialist to have diagnosed the problem before it became more serious.)
- Il semblait évident qu’elle n’avait pas diagnostiqué le vrai problème. (It seemed evident that she had not diagnosed the real problem.)
