Passé Antérieur (Past Anterior) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb déflaquer
Introduction to the verb déflaquer
The English translation of the French verb déflaquer is “to deflate” or “to collapse”. It is pronounced as “day-fla-keh” in its infinitive form.
Déflaquer comes from the word “flaque” which means “puddle” or “puddling” in English. It is a combination of the prefix “dé-“, which indicates the opposite of something, and the verb “flaquer” which means “to puddle” or “to make a puddle”. Therefore, déflaquer literally means “to unpuddle” or “to remove the puddle”.
In everyday French, déflaquer is most often used in the Passé Antérieur tense, which is a past tense that 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.
Examples:
-
J’ai déflaqué quand j’ai vu le pneu crevé. (I deflated when I saw the flat tire.)
-
Les ballons se sont déflaqués à cause de la pluie. (The balloons deflated because of the rain.)
-
Nous avions déflaqué après notre longue journée de randonnée. (We had deflated after our long day of hiking.)
