Introduction to the verb blinder
The English translation of the French verb blinder is “to blind.” It is pronounced as “bleen-der” in its infinitive form.

- Tu avais blindié la fenêtre pour dormir dans le noir = You had blinded the window to sleep in the dark.
- Il avait blindié sa lampe de poche pour pouvoir voir dans la nuit = He had blinded his flashlight to be able to see in the night.
In these sentences, blinder is used to indicate an action that was completed in the past, before another past action took place.
