Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait (Subjunctive Pluperfect) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb louer
Introduction to the verb louer
The English translation of the French verb louer is “to rent” or “to praise.” It is pronounced as “loo-ay” in the infinitive form.
The word louer comes from the Latin word “locare,” meaning “to place” or “to let.” In everyday French, louer is most often used to talk about renting or leasing something, such as a car or an apartment. In the Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait tense, it is used to express a past conditional action or situation, often in combination with the auxiliary verb “avoir.” Three simple examples of its usage in this tense with their respective translations are:
-
J’aurais loué une voiture si j’avais su conduire. (I would have rented a car if I knew how to drive.)
-
Elle aurait loué un appartement plus grand si elle avait eu plus d’argent. (She would have rented a bigger apartment if she had more money.)
-
Nous aurions loué une villa pour nos vacances si nous avions gagné au loto. (We would have rented a villa for our vacation if we had won the lottery.)
