Plus-que-parfait (Pluperfect) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb dépoussiérer
Introduction to the verb dépoussiérer
The English translation of the French verb dépoussiérer is “to dust off” or “to remove dust.” It is pronounced as “day-poo-see-yay.”
The word dépoussiérer comes from the French word “poussière,” meaning “dust,” and the prefix “dé-“, which can indicate removal or separation. It is most often used in everyday French to refer to the action of removing dust from a surface or object.
In the Plus-que-parfait tense, dépoussiérer is used to describe an action that had been completed before another past action. It is formed by using the auxiliary verb “avoir” in the imperfect tense followed by the past participle “dépoussiéré.”

- J’avais déjà dépoussiéré la bibliothèque avant que mes invités n’arrivent. (I had already dusted off the bookshelf before my guests arrived.)
- Elle avait dépoussiéré toutes les étagères avant de commencer à décorer la maison pour Noël. (She had dusted off all the shelves before starting to decorate the house for Christmas.)
