suggérait

Suggérait is the imperfect indicative form of the French verb suggérer. This tense is used to describe actions or states that were ongoing or habitual in the past. It can also be used to express a suggestion or an idea that was put forward at a particular time in the past without necessarily implying a final decision or action. For example, "Il suggérait une nouvelle approche" translates to "He was suggesting a new approach" or "He suggested a new approach." The imperfect is chosen to convey the continuous nature of the suggestion or the context in which it was made. It differs from the passé simple, which would typically describe a completed action in the past. The imperfect tense in French is also used for descriptions, background information, and habitual actions in the past, and "suggérait" fits within these uses when referring to past suggestions.
