Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait (Subjunctive Pluperfect) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb emballotter
Introduction to the verb emballotter
The English translation of the French verb emballotter is “to wrap” or “to pack”. It is pronounced as “ahm-bah-loh-tay”.
The word “emballotter” comes from the French word “emballer”, meaning “to pack”, and the suffix “-otter”, which intensifies the action. It is most often used in everyday French to express the act of wrapping or packing something.
In the Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait tense, emballotter is typically used in a hypothetical or imaginary situation, expressing a past action that could have happened but did not. It is formed by using the auxiliary verb “avoir” in the Imparfait tense followed by the past participle of emballotter, “emballotté”.
Here are three examples of emballotter used in the Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait tense:
- J’aurais aimé que tu aies emballotté tes affaires avant de partir. (I wish you had packed your things before leaving.)
- Il aurait fallu que nous ayons emballotté les cadeaux plus tôt. (We should have wrapped the gifts earlier.)
- Elles auraient dû avoir emballotté le colis avant que le livreur n’arrive. (They should have packed the package before the delivery driver arrived.)
Note: In these examples, the English translations may use different verb tenses to express the same idea, as the Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait does not have a direct equivalent in English.
