Passé Antérieur (Past Anterior) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb délustrer
Introduction to the verb délustrer
The English translation of délustrer is “to remove the shine” or “to dull.” It is pronounced “day-loos-tray.”
The verb délustrer comes from the French prefix “dé-” meaning “undo” and the adjective “lustre” meaning “shine.” It is most often used in everyday French in the Passé Antérieur tense, which is the past tense used to describe an action that happened before another action in the past.
Example 1: Elle eut délustré ses chaussures avant de sortir. (She had removed the shine from her shoes before going out.)
Example 2: Il eut délustré la table avant de la cirer. (He had dulled the table before waxing it.)
Example 3: Nous eûmes délustré nos bijoux pour les vendre. (We had removed the shine from our jewelry to sell it.)
In these examples, the action of délustrer (removing the shine) happened before the other actions (going out, waxing the table, selling the jewelry). This tense is used to show the sequence of events in the past.
