Introduction to the verb fraser
The English translation of the French verb fraser is “to rub” or “to grate.” It is pronounced as “frah-zeh” in its infinitive form.

This tense is used to describe an action that was completed before another past action.

Example 2: Nous avions épluché les légumes avant de les faire cuire. (We had peeled the vegetables before cooking them.)
Example 3: Elle avait gratté la glace sur le pare-brise avant de partir travailler. (She had scraped the ice off the windshield before leaving for work.)
In these examples, fraser is used to describe an action that was completed before another action in the past. It is often used in conjunction with the words “avant que” (before) or “avant de” (before doing something).
