Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait (Subjunctive Pluperfect) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb injurier
Introduction to the verb injurier
The English translation of the French verb injurier is “to insult” or “to offend.” It is pronounced as “ahn-zhoo-ree-eh.”
The word injurier originated from the Latin word “injurare,” which means “to do wrong” or “to injure.” Injurier is most often used in everyday French in the Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait tense, which is the past subjunctive tense. This tense is used to express a hypothetical or unreal action that took place before another past action.
Here are three simple examples of injurier used in the Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait tense:
- J’avais injurié mon voisin avant qu’il ne me pardonne. (I had insulted my neighbor before he forgave me.)
- Elle avait injurié son patron avant qu’il ne la licencie. (She had offended her boss before he fired her.)
- Nous avions injurié nos adversaires avant que nous ne perdions le match. (We had insulted our opponents before we lost the game.)
In these examples, the past subjunctive tense is used to express an action that took place before another past action. The use of “ne” before the verb in the subordinate clause is a common feature in the Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait tense.
In English, the equivalent tense is the past perfect subjunctive, which is formed by using “had” before the past participle form of the verb (e.g. had insulted, had offended).
