Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait (Subjunctive Pluperfect) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb mazouter
Introduction to the verb mazouter
The English translation of the French verb mazouter is “to oil”. It is pronounced “mah-zoo-tey”.
The word mazouter is derived from the French word “maux”, meaning “pains”, and “huile”, meaning “oil”. It is most often used in everyday French in the Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait tense, which is used to express an action that has happened before another action in the past.
Three examples of using mazouter in the Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait tense are:
-
J’avais peur qu’elle ne m’ait mazouté la porte avant que j’arrive. (I was afraid that she had oiled the door before I arrived.)
-
Ils étaient tristes qu’il n’eût pas mazouté le moteur avant de partir en voyage. (They were sad that he had not oiled the engine before leaving on the trip.)
-
Je craignais qu’ils n’eussent pas mazouté les rouages à temps. (I feared that they had not oiled the gears in time.)
The Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait tense is used in these examples because the action of “oiling” (mazouter) had happened before the main action in the past (arriving, leaving, or oiling in time).
