Passé Composé (Present Perfect) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb déferrer
Introduction to the verb déferrer
The English translation of the French verb déferrer is “to remove the shoes” or “to unshoe.” It is pronounced “deh-fehr-eh.”
Déferrer comes from the Old French word “deferrer,” which can be traced back to the Latin word “deferrare,” meaning “to carry away.” In everyday French, it is most often used in the Passé Composé (Present Perfect) tense to describe an action that has been completed in the past.
Some examples of its usage in this tense include:
- J’ai déferré le cheval hier. (I unshod the horse yesterday.)
- Nous avons déferré les vaches avant de les faire paître. (We removed the cows’ shoes before letting them graze.)
- Est-ce que tu as déferré les ânes comme je te l’ai demandé ? (Did you unshoe the donkeys like I asked you to?)
In these examples, déferrer is used to describe the act of removing shoes from animals. It can also be used in a more figurative sense, such as “déferrer une discussion” (to take off the brakes from a discussion) or “déferrer un projet” (to give up on a project).
