Introduction to the verb liquider
The English translation of the French verb liquider is to liquidate or to settle. The infinitive form of the verb is pronounced as “lee-kee-dey” with the stress on the second syllable.

(She had hoped that all the assets had been liquidated at the time of the sale.)
In these examples, the Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait tense is used to express a past action that may or may not have happened before another past action. The verb liquider is used in its past participle form “liquidé” and is followed by the subjonctif form of the auxiliary verb “avoir” or “être” depending on the subject.
Overall, liquider is a versatile verb that can be used in various tenses and forms in French, but it is most commonly used in the Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait tense to express hypothetical or uncertain actions in the past.
