Passé Composé (Present Perfect) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb dégripper
Introduction to the verb dégripper
The English translation of the French verb dégripper is “to unjam” or “to loosen.” It is pronounced as “day-gree-pay.”
The word dégripper comes from the combination of the prefix “dé-” meaning “to undo” and the verb “gripper” meaning “to grip.” In everyday French, it is most often used in the Passé Composé tense, which is equivalent to the Present Perfect tense in English. This tense is used to talk about actions that were completed in the past and have a connection to the present.
Here are three simple examples of dégripper in the Passé Composé tense:
- J’ai dégrippé la porte avec un peu d’huile. (I loosened the door with some oil.)
- Tu as dégrippé le robinet? (Did you unjam the faucet?)
- Il a dégrippé la roue de sa bicyclette. (He unjammed the wheel of his bicycle.)
In all of these examples, dégripper is used to talk about an action that was completed in the past (the loosening or unjamming of something) and has a connection to the present (the door, faucet, or bicycle wheel can now function properly).
