Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait (Subjunctive Pluperfect) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb intailler
Introduction to the verb intailler
The English translation of the French verb intailler is “to incise” or “to carve.” The infinitive form is pronounced “ahn-tah-yay.”
Intailler comes from the Old French word “entaille,” meaning “notch” or “cut,” and ultimately derives from the Latin “intaliare,” meaning “to carve.” It is most often used in everyday French to describe the action of making cuts or carvings in wood, stone, or other materials.
In the Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait tense, intailler is used to express actions that had already been completed before another past action or event. It is constructed by using the auxiliary verb “avoir” or “être” in the Subjonctif Imparfait tense, followed by the past participle of intailler.
Here are three examples of intailler in the Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait tense with their English translations:
- J’avais intaillé le bois avant que mon frère ne vienne le chercher. (I had carved the wood before my brother came to get it.)
- Elle était ravie que je lui aie intaillé un bijou en pierre. (She was delighted that I had carved a stone jewel for her.)
