Passé Composé (Present Perfect) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb débrancher
Introduction to the verb débrancher
The English translation of the French verb débrancher is to unplug. In its infinitive form, débrancher is pronounced as “day-brahn-shay.”
Débrancher comes from the combination of the prefix “dé-” which indicates a reversal or removal of something, and the verb “brancher” which means to connect or plug in. Therefore, débrancher literally means to “un-connect” or “un-plug.”
In everyday French, débrancher is commonly used in the Passé Composé (Present Perfect) tense to talk about actions that were completed in the past.
Example 1: J’ai débranché l’ordinateur hier soir. (I unplugged the computer last night.)
Example 2: Nous avons débranché tous les appareils électriques avant de partir. (We unplugged all the electrical appliances before leaving.)
Example 3: Ils ont débranché le câble pour éviter les surtensions pendant l’orage. (They unplugged the cable to avoid power surges during the storm.)
In these examples, débrancher is used to describe a specific action that was completed in the past, and the auxiliary verb “avoir” is used to form the Passé Composé tense. These sentences can be translated into English using the simple past tense or the present perfect tense, depending on the context.
