Passé Antérieur (Past Anterior) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb décoincer
Introduction to the verb décoincer
The English translation of décoincer is “to unblock” or “to loosen”. It is pronounced as “day-kwahn-say”.
Décoincer is a verb derived from the French words “dé-” meaning “to undo” and “coince” meaning “to block”. It is most often used in everyday French to describe the act of removing or freeing something that is stuck or obstructed.
In the Passé Antérieur tense, décoincer is used to refer to an action that was completed in the past before another action took place. For example:
-
J’ai décoincé la porte avant de partir au travail. (I unblocked the door before leaving for work.)
-
Après avoir décoincé le bouchon, j’ai pu vider l’évier. (After unblocking the plug, I was able to empty the kitchen sink.)
-
Elle a décoincé la roue de sa voiture avant de continuer à rouler. (She loosened the wheel of her car before continuing to drive.)
In these examples, the action of unblocking or loosening took place before another action occurred, and therefore, the Passé Antérieur tense is used.
