Passé Antérieur (Past Anterior) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb désengager
Introduction to the verb désengager
The English translation of désengager is “to disengage” or “to withdraw.” It is pronounced as “day-zahn-gah-zhay.”
The verb désengager comes from the French prefix dés-, which means “un-” or “dis-“, and the verb engager, which means “to engage” or “to commit.” It is most often used in everyday French to describe the act of disengaging or withdrawing oneself from a situation, relationship, or commitment.
In the Passé Antérieur tense, désengager is used to talk about an action that occurred before another action in the past. It is formed by using the auxiliary verb avoir or être in the Passé Simple tense followed by the past participle of désengager.
