Introduction to the verb débillarder
The English translation of the French verb débillarder is “to unbolt” or “to unfasten.” It is pronounced as “day-bee-yar-day.”

This tense is used to indicate an action that occurred before another past action. It is formed by using the auxiliary verb “avoir” or “être” in the Imparfait tense, followed by the past participle of the main verb.
