Introduction to the verb beurrer

The verb “beurrer” comes from the noun “beurre” which means “butter” in English. It is most often used in everyday French in the Passé Simple (Simple Past) tense when referring to actions that happened in the past. However, it’s essential to note that the Passé Simple is a literary tense and is rarely used in spoken French.
