Passé Composé (Present Perfect) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb déflaquer
Introduction to the verb déflaquer
The English translation of the French verb déflaquer is “to deflate.” It is pronounced “dé-fla-kay.”
Déflaquer comes from the French word “flaque,” which means “puddle” or “pool.” The prefix “dé-” indicates a reversal or undoing of the action, thus “déflaquer” can be translated as “to un-puddle” or “to un-pool.”
In everyday French, déflaquer is most often used in the Passé Composé tense, which is the equivalent of the Present Perfect tense in English. This tense is used to talk about past actions that are completed and have a direct effect on the present.
Here are three examples of déflaquer in the Passé Composé tense:
- J’ai déflaqué le ballon avec une aiguille. (I deflated the ball with a needle.)
- Tu as déflaqué les pneus de ma voiture en roulant sur des clous. (You deflated my car’s tires by driving over some nails.)
- Nous avons déflaqué les bouées après la fête. (We deflated the floats after the party.)
In these examples, déflaquer is used to describe the action of intentionally letting air out of something, such as a ball, tires, or inflatable objects.
