Passé Antérieur (Past Anterior) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb démaquer
Introduction to the verb démaquer
The English translation of the French verb démaquer is “to remove makeup.” The infinitive form of démaquer is pronounced as “day-mah-kay.”
Démaquer comes from the French word “maquillage,” meaning makeup, and the prefix “dé-,” which indicates removal or reversal. In everyday French, démaquer is most often used in the Passé Antérieur tense, which is the literary past tense used to describe actions that occurred before another past action. It is formed by using the auxiliary verb “avoir” or “être” in the passé simple tense and the past participle of the main verb.
Examples of démaquer in the Passé Antérieur tense:
- Quand elle eut démaqué son visage, elle se lava le visage. (When she removed her makeup, she washed her face.)
- Après qu’il eut démaqué, il se doucha avant de se coucher. (After he removed his makeup, he took a shower before going to bed.)
- Lorsque j’eus démaqué, j’ai remarqué que mes yeux étaient irrités. (When I removed my makeup, I noticed that my eyes were irritated.)
In these examples, démaquer is used in the Passé Antérieur tense to describe an action that occurred before another past action. The English translations reflect this tense as well.
