Passé Antérieur (Past Anterior) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb décrasser
Introduction to the verb décrasser
The English translation of the French verb décrasser is “to clean thoroughly” or “to scrub.”
Pronunciation: day-krah-say (infinitive form)
Language origin: Décrasser comes from the French prefix “dé-” which means “to undo” or “to remove,” and the word “crasse” which means “dirt” or “grime.” It literally translates to “undoing dirt” or “getting rid of dirt.”
In everyday French, décrasser is often used in the Passé Antérieur tense, which is a past tense that is used to describe an action that was completed before another past action. It is formed by using the auxiliary verb “avoir” or “être” in the passé simple tense and adding the past participle of the main verb.
Examples:
1) J’ai décrassé la voiture avant que mes parents arrivent. (I had cleaned the car before my parents arrived.)
2) Elle s’était décrassée les mains avant de préparer le dîner. (She had thoroughly cleaned her hands before preparing dinner.)
3) Nous avions décrassé la salle de bain avant de recevoir des invités. (We had scrubbed the bathroom before having guests over.)
