French Imperfect Subjunctive
Usage in Sentences
- The imperfect subjunctive is used to express doubt, uncertainty, or possibility about a situation or action in the past.
- It is often used in clauses that start with words such as "il fallait que" (it was necessary that), "il était possible que" (it was possible that), or "il était probable que" (it was likely that).
- The imperfect subjunctive is also used in clauses that express a condition or a hypothesis in the past, such as "si" (if) clauses.
- It can be used to express a polite or formal request in the past, such as "Il fallait que je fusse là" (I had to be there).

- -er verbs: -asse, -asses, -ât, -assions, -assiez, -assent
- -ir verbs: -isse, -isses, -ît, -issions, -issiez, -issent
