Passé Simple (Simple Past) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb déranger
Introduction to the verb déranger
The English translation of the French verb déranger is “to disturb” or “to bother.” The infinitive form, déranger, is pronounced as “day-rahn-zhay.”
The French verb déranger originated from the Latin word “disrēgulāre,” which means “to upset” or “to disarrange.” In everyday French, déranger is commonly used in the Passé Simple (Simple Past) tense, which is a literary tense used mainly in written texts.
Here are three examples of déranger in the Passé Simple tense with their respective English translations:
-
