Introduction to the verb démarquer
The English translation of the French verb démarquer is “to mark down” or “to reduce the price.” The infinitive form “démarquer” is pronounced as “day-mar-kay.”

However, it is important to note that the Passé Simple is primarily used in formal writing, literature, or historical contexts.
