The English translation of the French verb débonder is “to unbind” or “to detach.” The infinitive form, débonder, is pronounced as “deh-bohn-day.”

- Nous avions débondé les fils électriques avant de commencer les travaux. (We had detached the electrical wires before starting the work.)
- Elle avait débondé les pages de son livre pour les relire. (She had unfastened the pages of her book to reread them.)
In each of these examples, débonder is used in the Plus-que-parfait tense to indicate an action that was completed before another past action, such as entering the house, starting work, or rereading the pages of a book.
