Passé Antérieur (Past Anterior) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb défruiter
Introduction to the verb défruiter
The English translation of the French verb défruiter is “to defruit” or “to remove the fruit from”. The infinitive form is pronounced “deh-froo-tee-ay”.
The word défruiter comes from the French prefix “dé-“, meaning “down” or “remove”, and the word “fruit”, meaning “fruit”. It is most often used in everyday French to describe the action of removing fruit from a tree, plant, or other surface.
In the Passé Antérieur tense, which is the past perfect tense in English, défruiter is used to describe an action that was completed before another past action. Here are three simple examples of its usage in this tense:
- Nous avions défruité tous les arbres avant la tempête. (We had defruited all the trees before the storm.)
- Tu avais défruité le jardin quand je suis rentré. (You had defruited the garden when I came back.)
- Ils avaient défruité les vignes avant la récolte. (They had defruited the vines before the harvest.)
In these examples, défruiter is used to describe an action that was completed before another past action, such as a storm, someone’s return, or a harvest.
