Introduction to the verb désulfurer
The English translation of the French verb désulfurer is “to desulfurize.” It is pronounced “day-sool-fuh-rer.”
The word désulfurer is derived from the French word “soufre” which means “sulfur.” The prefix “dé-” means “remove” or “de-” in English, and the suffix “-er” is a common verb ending in French. Therefore, désulfurer literally means “to remove sulfur.”
In everyday French, désulfurer is most often used in the Subjonctif Passé tense, which expresses a possibility or uncertainty in the past. It is usually used in conjunction with a conjugated form of the auxiliary verb “avoir.”
Three simple examples of its usage in this tense are:
