Passé Composé (Present Perfect) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb défaufiler
Introduction to the verb défaufiler
The English translation of the French verb défaufiler is “to unravel” or “to unravel bits of thread.” It is pronounced as “de-faw-fee-lay.”
The word défaufiler is derived from the Old French word “faufiler,” which means “to slip or slide.” It is most often used in everyday French in the Passé Composé (Present Perfect) tense to describe an action that has been completed in the past.
Here are three simple examples of its usage in the Passé Composé tense, with their English translations:
- J’ai défaufilé le fil de mon pull. (I unraveled the thread of my sweater.)
- Elle a défaufilé ses chaussettes pour les laver. (She unraveled her socks to wash them.)
- Nous avons défaufilé la couture du pantalon. (We unraveled the seam of the pants.)
In all of these examples, défaufiler is used to describe an action that has been completed in the past. The Passé Composé tense is formed by using the auxiliary verb “avoir” (to have) or “être” (to be) and the past participle of the verb, in this case “défaufilé.”
