Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait (Subjunctive Pluperfect) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb diffuser
Introduction to the verb diffuser
The English translation of the French verb diffuser is “to diffuse” or “to spread.” The infinitive form is pronounced “dee-few-zeh.”
The word “diffuser” comes from the Latin word “diffundere” which means “to spread out” or “to scatter.” In everyday French, it is most often used in the Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait tense, which is used to express actions that were completed in the past before another past action. It is formed by using the auxiliary verb “avoir” or “être” in the Plus-que-parfait tense followed by the past participle of the verb.
- J’avais diffusé cette information avant qu’il ne soit arrivé. (I had spread this information before he arrived.)
- Nous étions arrivés avant que la nouvelle ne se soit diffusée. (We had arrived before the news had spread.)
- Ils étaient partis quand les rumeurs se sont diffusées. (They had left when the rumors had spread.)
In these examples, the verb “diffuser” is used to describe the spreading of information or rumors. It is important to note that the Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait tense is used in more formal or literary contexts, and in spoken French, the passé composé or imparfait tense may be used instead.
