Passé Antérieur (Past Anterior) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb démuseler
Introduction to the verb démuseler
The English translation of the French verb démuseler is “to remove the muzzle.” It is pronounced “day-moo-zuh-lay.”
Démuseler comes from the word “museler,” which means “to muzzle” or “to silence,” and the prefix “dé,” which means “to remove.” It is most often used in everyday French in the Passé Antérieur tense, which is a compound tense that indicates an action that was completed in the past before another action took place.
Three simple examples of démuseler in the Passé Antérieur tense are:
- J’ai démuselé le chien avant de le laisser jouer dans le jardin. (I removed the muzzle from the dog before letting him play in the garden.)
- Nous avions démuselé les manifestants avant qu’ils ne commencent à crier. (We had removed the muzzles from the protestors before they started shouting.)
- Vous aviez démuselé le cheval avant de le monter. (You had removed the muzzle from the horse before riding it.)
In each of these examples, démuseler is used in the Passé Antérieur tense to indicate that the action of removing the muzzle was completed before another action (letting the dog play, the protestors shouting, and riding the horse) took place.
