Introduction to the verb dispenser
The English translation of the French verb dispenser is “to dispense.” It is pronounced as “dees-pahn-ser” in its infinitive form.
The word “dispenser” comes from the Latin word “dispensare,” which means “to distribute.” In everyday French, the verb dispenser is most often used in the Passé Antérieur tense, which is the past tense used for actions that were completed before another past action.

Il eut dispensé les invitations à la soirée. (He had distributed the invitations for the party.)
-
Elle eut dispensé ses conseils à ses amis. (She had given her advice to her friends.)
