Passé Antérieur (Past Anterior) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb dégrouiller
Introduction to the verb dégrouiller
The English translation of the French verb dégrouiller is “to loosen up” or “to get moving.” The infinitive form is pronounced “day-groo-yay.”
The word dégrouiller comes from the combination of the prefix “dé-” and the verb “grouiller,” meaning to move or stir. It originated in the Old French word “gruiller,” which has the same meaning.
In everyday French, dégrouiller is most often used in the Passé Antérieur tense, which is the past tense that emphasizes the completion of an action in the past. It is formed by using the auxiliary verb “avoir” or “être” in the present tense and adding the past participle of the main verb. This tense is used to describe actions that occurred before another action in the past.

-
Je me suis dégrouillé pour arriver à l’heure. (I hurried up to arrive on time.)
