Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait (Subjunctive Pluperfect) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb excepter
Introduction to the verb excepter
The English translation of the French verb excepter is “to except” or “to exclude.” It is pronounced as “eks-sep-tey” in its infinitive form.
The word “excepter” comes from the Latin word “exceptus,” meaning “to take out” or “to exclude.” In everyday French, it is most often used as a transitive verb, meaning it requires a direct object. In the Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait tense, it is used to express a past hypothetical action or condition.
Here are three simple examples of its usage in the Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait tense:
-
J’avais excepté que tu viennes à la fête. (I had excepted that you would come to the party.)
-
Tu avais excepté qu’il ne soit pas là. (You had excepted that he would not be there.)
-
Il avait excepté que nous terminions le projet à temps. (He had excepted that we would finish the project on time.)
In all three examples, the verb “excepter” is used to express an exception or condition that was expected or planned in the past. The Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait tense is used to convey the idea that the action or condition was not certain or did not actually happen. In English, this tense is often translated using “would have” or “had.”
