Passé Composé (Present Perfect) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb déposséder
Introduction to the verb déposséder
The English translation of the French verb déposséder is “to dispossess” or “to deprive someone of something.” It is pronounced as [dey-paw-sey-dey].
The language origin of déposséder can be traced back to the Latin word “possidere” which means “to possess.” The prefix “de-” adds a sense of negation or reversal to the verb, so déposséder means to take away or remove possession. It is a transitive verb and is most often used with a direct object.
In everyday French, déposséder in the Passé Composé tense is used to describe an action that happened in the past and is now completed. It is formed by using the auxiliary verb “avoir” conjugated in the present tense, followed by the past participle of déposséder, which is “dépossédé.”
Examples:
- J’ai dépossédé mon frère de sa part d’héritage. (I deprived my brother of his share of inheritance.)
- Nous avons été dépossédés de nos terres par le gouvernement. (We were dispossessed of our land by the government.)
- Elle a dépossédé son ex-mari de ses biens après leur divorce. (She dispossessed her ex-husband of his possessions after their divorce.)
