Conditionnel Passé (Conditional Past) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb déchiffonner
Introduction to the verb déchiffonner
The English translation of the French verb déchiffonner is “to crumple” or “to rumple.” It is pronounced as “day-shee-foe-nay” in the infinitive form.
Déchiffonner is derived from the prefix “dé-” which means “undo” or “reverse,” and the word “chiffon” which means “rag” or “cloth.” It is most often used in everyday French in the Conditionnel Passé tense, which expresses a hypothetical or unreal event that would have occurred in the past.
Here are three simple examples of its usage in the Conditionnel Passé tense:
- Si j’avais pu, j’aurais déchiffonné ta robe avant de la mettre. (If I could have, I would have crumpled your dress before wearing it.)
- Tu serais arrivé à l’heure si tu avais déchiffonné ton plan de route. (You would have arrived on time if you had rumpled your itinerary.)
- Nous aurions gagné la partie si nous n’avions pas déchiffonné nos cartes. (We would have won the game if we hadn’t crumpled our cards.)
In each of these examples, the Conditionnel Passé tense is used to express a hypothetical or unreal event in the past. Déchiffonner is used to describe the action of crumpling or rumpling something.
