Passé Simple (Simple Past) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb dérégler
Introduction to the verb dérégler
The English translation of the French verb dérégler is “to disturb” or “to upset.” The infinitive form dérégler is pronounced as “day-ray-glay.”
The word dérégler comes from the combination of the prefix “dé-” (meaning “un-” or “dis-“) and the verb “régler” (meaning “to regulate” or “to adjust”). It is most commonly used in everyday French to express the action of disturbing or upsetting something, usually related to a system, order, or balance.
In the Passé Simple (Simple Past) tense, dérégler is not frequently used in everyday conversation. However, it can still be found in written literature, formal speeches, or historical contexts. Here are three examples of its usage in the Passé Simple tense along with their English translations:
