Passé Antérieur (Past Anterior) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb dégraisser
Introduction to the verb dégraisser
The English translation of the French verb dégraisser is “to degrease.” The infinitive form, dégraisser, is pronounced as “deh-gray-ser.”
Dégraisser comes from the prefix “de-” meaning “from” or “off” and the root “graisse” which means “grease.” It originated from the Latin word “crassus” meaning “fat” or “grease.” In everyday French, dégraisser is most often used to refer to the act of removing grease or fat from something, such as a cooking surface or a piece of machinery. It can also be used metaphorically to mean to cut back or reduce something.
In the Passé Antérieur tense, dégraisser is used to indicate 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, followed by the past participle of dégraisser.
Here are three simple examples of dégraisser in the Passé Antérieur tense with their respective English translations:
