Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait (Subjunctive Pluperfect) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb débourber
Introduction to the verb débourber
The English translation of the French verb débourber is “to unclog” or “to remove mud or dirt.” The infinitive form is pronounced as “day-boor-bay.”
Débourber comes from the combination of the prefix “dé-” (meaning “un” or “dis-“) and the verb “bourbe” (meaning “mud”). It is most often used in daily French conversations in the Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait tense, which expresses an action that was completed in the past before another action took place. This tense is formed by using the auxiliary verb “avoir” or “être” in the Plus-que-parfait conjugation, followed by the past participle of the main verb.
