réduisais

Rèduisais is a French verb form. Specifically, it is the first or third-person singular imperfect indicative of the verb "réduire." The imperfect tense in French is used to describe ongoing actions, habitual actions, or states of being in the past. Therefore, "réduisais" translates to "was reducing" or "used to reduce" in English, depending on the context. For example, "Je réduisais mon budget chaque mois" means "I was reducing my budget each month" or "I used to reduce my budget each month." Similarly, "Il réduisais son temps de travail" translates to "He was reducing his work time" or "He used to reduce his work time." The imperfect tense is distinct from the passé composé, which describes completed actions in the past. The choice between these tenses depends on whether the action was ongoing or completed. The verb "réduire" itself means to reduce, lessen, decrease, or shrink.
