Introduction to the verb disperser
The English translation of the French verb disperser is “to disperse.” It is pronounced as “dee-spehr-seh” in its infinitive form.
The word disperser comes from the Latin word “dispersus,” which means “spread out.” In everyday French, the verb disperser is commonly used in the subjonctif plus-que-parfait tense, which is used to express an action that has already happened in the past but is still relevant in the present. It is formed by using the auxiliary verb “avoir” or “être” in the plus-que-parfait tense, followed by the past participle of the main verb.

- Il était important que le vent n’eût pas dispersé les cendres de la cheminée dans tout le salon. (It was important that the wind had not dispersed the ashes from the fireplace all over the living room.)
In these examples, the verb disperser is used to express an action that had already taken place in the past, but was still relevant or important at the time. It is often used with the subjonctif mood to express doubt, uncertainty, or emotion. The subjonctif plus-que-parfait tense is also commonly used in literary or formal language.
