Plus-que-parfait (Pluperfect) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb déchaperonner
Introduction to the verb déchaperonner
The English translation of the French verb déchaperonner is “to unhood,” or “to take off the hood.” It is pronounced as “day-shah-peh-roh-nay.”
Déchaperonner is derived from the French word “chaperon,” which means hood or capuchin. The prefix “dé-” added to it means “to remove” or “to take off.” It is most commonly used in everyday French in the Plus-que-parfait tense, which is the past perfect tense.
In the Plus-que-parfait tense, déchaperonner is used to describe an action that was completed before another past action. For example:
- J’avais déchaperonné mon manteau avant de sortir. (I had unhooded my coat before going out.)
- Elle avait déchaperonné le bébé pour le bercer. (She had taken off the hood of the baby to rock him.)
- Nous avions déchaperonné le moteur pour le réparer. (We had removed the hood of the engine to repair it.)
As seen in these examples, déchaperonner is used with the auxiliary verb “avoir” in the Plus-que-parfait tense. It is often used in the context of preparing or getting ready for an action.
