Plus-que-parfait (Pluperfect) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb déguiser
Introduction to the verb déguiser
The English translation of the French verb déguiser is “to disguise.” It is pronounced as “day-gee-zay.”
Déguiser comes from the Latin word “disguisare” which means “to change the appearance.” It is most often used in everyday French in the Plus-que-parfait tense, which corresponds to the English past perfect tense. This tense is used to indicate an action that was completed before another past action.
Example 1: J’avais déguisé ma sœur en coccinelle pour la fête d’Halloween. (I had disguised my sister as a ladybug for Halloween.)
Example 2: Tu avais déguisé ton chien en lion pour le carnaval. (You had disguised your dog as a lion for the carnival.)
Example 3: Ils avaient déguisé leur voix pour jouer un tour à leur ami. (They had disguised their voices to play a prank on their friend.)
In these examples, déguiser is used to indicate an action that was completed before another past action. The subject of the sentence had already completed the action of disguising before the other past action took place.
