Passé Simple (Simple Past) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb déménager
Introduction to the verb déménager
The English translation of the French verb déménager is “to move” (as in changing houses or residences). The infinitive form of déménager is pronounced as “day-may-nah-zhay”.
Déménager originates from the combination of the prefix “dé-” (meaning “going away” or “out”) and the verb “ménager” (meaning “to arrange” or “to manage”). In everyday French, déménager is commonly used in the Passé Simple tense to talk about past events or actions that occurred and ended in the past. However, it is important to note that the Passé Simple tense is mostly used in formal writing or literature, while the Passé Composé is more commonly used in spoken French to express past actions.
Here are three examples of déménager in the Passé Simple tense, along with their English translations:
-
Nous déménageâmes l’année dernière.
(We moved last year.) -
Tu déménageas en septembre.
(You moved in September.) -
Ils déménagèrent leurs affaires rapidement.
(They moved their belongings quickly.)
Please note that while these examples are in the Passé Simple tense, it is more usual to use the Passé Composé in everyday spoken French to express past actions or events.
