The English translation of the French verb démoraliser is “to demoralize”. It is pronounced as [de.mɔ.ʁa.li.ze].

The word démoraliser comes from the French noun “moral” which means “morale” or “spirit” and the suffix “-iser” which means “to make”. So, démoraliser literally means “to make someone lose their morale or spirit”.

In everyday French, démoraliser is most often used in the Futur Antérieur tense, which expresses an action that will be completed in the future before another action or event. This tense is formed by using the future tense of the auxiliary verb “avoir” or “être” followed by the past participle of the main verb.

Here are three simple examples of its usage in the Futur Antérieur tense:

  1. Quand il aura perdu son emploi, il se sera démoralisé. (When he will have lost his job, he will be demoralized.)
  2. Après avoir échoué à son examen, elle se sera démoralisée. (After failing her exam, she will be demoralized.)
  3. Une fois que tu auras vu les résultats, tu te seras peut-être démoralisé. (Once you will have seen the results, you may be demoralized.)

In all of these examples, the verb démoraliser is used to express the action of someone losing their morale or spirit, and the Futur Antérieur tense is used to indicate that this action will be completed before another future action or event.

Construction

1. For most verbs, use “avoir” as the auxiliary verb:
   – Subject + future tense of “avoir” + past participle
Example with the verb “manger” (to eat):
– J’aurai mangé (I will have eaten)
– Tu auras mangé (You will have eaten)
– Il/elle/on aura mangé (He/She/One will have eaten)
– Nous aurons mangé (We will have eaten)
– Vous aurez mangé (You will have eaten)
– Ils/elles auront mangé (They will have eaten)
2. For a select group of verbs, use “être” as the auxiliary verb. These are typically verbs of motion or state-changing verbs (e.g., aller, venir, naître, mourir, partir, etc.). The formation is the same, but the auxiliary verb is “être.”
Example with the verb “partir” (to leave):
– Je serai parti(e) (I will have left)
– Tu seras parti(e) (You will have left)
– Il/elle/on sera parti(e) (He/She/One will have left)
– Nous serons parti(e)s (We will have left)
– Vous serez parti(e)(s) (You will have left)
– Ils/elles seront parti(e)s (They will have left)

   – Je partirai dès que j’aurai fini mon travail. (I will leave as soon as I have finished my work.)
   – Ils seront rentrés avant que la pluie commence. (They will have returned before the rain starts.)
2. It is often used with time expressions that indicate when the action will occur relative to another future action, such as “dès que” (as soon as), “avant que” (before), “une fois que” (once), etc.

Interactions with Other Tenses

– The futur antérieur tense is commonly used in combination with the future simple (futur simple) and other tenses to indicate the sequence of actions in the future. The futur antérieur typically refers to the action that will have been completed before another action takes place.

For example
