Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait (Subjunctive Pluperfect) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb langueyer
Introduction to the verb langueyer
The English translation of the French verb langueyer is “to lick.” It is pronounced “lahng-guh-yay.”
The word langueyer comes from the Old French word “langueier,” which is derived from the Latin word “linguare,” meaning “to lick.” It is most often used in everyday French in the Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait tense, which is the past subjunctive tense.
The Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait tense is used to express an action that took place in the past and was completed before another action in the past. It is often used in literary texts or formal writing.
Three simple examples of its usage in this tense are:
-
Il avait peur que le chat n’ait langueyé tout le lait. (He was afraid that the cat had licked all the milk.)
-
J’étais contente que mes enfants aient langueyé leur assiette. (I was happy that my children had licked their plates clean.)
-
Il était surpris que le chien ait langueyé son visage. (He was surprised that the dog had licked his face.)
In all of these examples, the verb langueyer is conjugated in the Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait tense, with the auxiliary verb “avoir” in the past subjunctive form and the past participle “langueyé.” The subjunctive mood is used to express doubt, emotion, or possibility, and the past tense indicates that the action was completed in the past.
In English, the Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait tense is often translated as “had + past participle.” For example, “il avait peur que le chat n’ait langueyé tout le lait” can be translated as “he was afraid that the cat had licked all the milk.”
