Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait (Subjunctive Pluperfect) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb festonner
Introduction to the verb festonner
The English translation of the French verb festonner is “to festoon.” The infinitive form is pronounced as “fe-sto-nay.”
The language origin of festonner is from the Latin word “festum,” meaning “festival.” In everyday French, it is most often used in the Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait tense, which is the past subjunctive tense used to express a hypothetical or unreal situation in the past.

- J’aurais aimé que tu aies festonné la salle pour la fête. (I wish you had festooned the room for the party.)
- Il était important que nous ayons festonné la maison pour accueillir les invités. (It was important that we had festooned the house to welcome the guests.)
- Elle aurait préféré que vous ayez festonné les tables avec des fleurs. (She would have preferred if you had festooned the tables with flowers.)
In all these examples, the action of festonner (festooning) is expressed as a past hypothetical or unreal situation, hence the use of the Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait tense.
