Le verbe
« pleuvasser » is an impersonal verb. In linguistics, an impersonal verb is one that has no determinate subject. For example, in the sentence "It rains", rain is an impersonal verb and the pronoun it does not refer to anything. In many languages the verb takes a third person singular inflection and often appears with an expletive subject. In the active voice, impersonal verbs can be used to express operation of nature, mental distress, and acts with no reference to the do-er. Impersonal verbs are also called weather verbs because they frequently appear in the context of weather description. Common french impersonal verbs:
pleuvoir =>
« il pleut »,
grêler =>
« il grêle »,
falloir =>
« il faut »,
s'agir =>
« il s'agit »,
advenir =>
« il advient ».
Pleuvasser is conjugated in interro-negative form. The interro-negative form being obtained by inversion of the subject, the placement of the negative adverb follow the same rules as in negative form, giving the following rules:
- in interro-negative form, the adverb
« ne » is always placed first if the subject is a pronoun.
- in simple tenses, the adverbs (
« ne ...pas »,
« ne...plus »,
« ne...jamais », etc...) surround the verb
pleuvasser and the inverted subject pronoun.
- in compound tenses or in passive voice, the negative adverbs surround the auxiliary and the inverted subject pronoun.
For sound reasons, like in interrogative form, an euphonious
« t » is added to the pronoun of the third person:
« il »,
« elle »,
« on »,
« ils »,
« elles » except when the verb ends with
« t » or
« d »:
« ne pleuvasse-t-elle pas ? »,
« ne pleuvassa-t-elle pas ? »,
« ne pleuvassera-t-elle pas ? »,
« n'a-t-elle pas pleuvassé ? »,
« n'aura-t-elle pas pleuvassé ? ».
Finally, the interrogative form does not exist in subjunctive and imperative.
