Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait (Subjunctive Pluperfect) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb escorter
Introduction to the verb escorter
The English translation of the French verb escorter is “to accompany” or “to escort.” It is pronounced as “es-koh-ter” in its infinitive form.
Escorter comes from the Old French word “escorte,” which means “protection” or “guard.” It is derived from the Latin word “excoriare,” which means “to cut off.” In everyday French, escorter is most often used in the Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait tense, which expresses a past action that was completed before another past action.
Example 1: J’avais escorté mon amie jusqu’à la gare avant qu’elle ne parte pour Paris. (I had accompanied my friend to the train station before she left for Paris.)
Example 2: Il était ravi que sa mère l’ait escorté à sa remise de diplôme. (He was delighted that his mother had escorted him to his graduation ceremony.)
Example 3: Nous étions contents que le guide nous ait escortés pendant toute la visite du château. (We were happy that the guide had escorted us throughout the castle tour.)
In these examples, the Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait tense is used to indicate that the action of escorting was completed before another past action (leaving for Paris, attending the graduation ceremony, and touring the castle). It is often used in formal or literary contexts to express a past action that is highly desired, probable, or uncertain.
