Le mode conditionnel is a French equivalent of the incorrect English phrase "the conditional tense." The masculine singular definite article, noun, and adjective translate literally and properly into English as "the conditional mood," whose tense may be present or past. The pronunciation will be "luh muhd ko-dee-tsyo-nel" in French.

How would you spell would in french?

Sorry, but there is no direct translation. :-( In English we make the conditional tense by using "would" with the primary verb -- I would be, we would like, etc.In French, the conditional tense is just a different way of conjugating the verb -- je serais, nous aimerions, etc.

What is an example of past conditional?

I would have gone to that party if I had been invited. "Would have gone" in this sentence is about as close as English can get to the idea of the past conditional of "go" in a language that has a formal past conditional tense, although formally the English phrase is the conditional present perfect tense. As you may well know, English often uses a present perfect tense when other languages would use a simple past indicative instead.

How do you form the french conditional tense?

First of all, the Conditional is a Mood and not a Tense. Tenses tell when. Formation is quite simple. a. Write your subject. b. Write the Future Tense stem. c. After the Future Tense stem, write the equivalent Imperfect stem. For example. Je+parler+ais=Je parlerais.


Is 'I did not go to school' past tense when translated into French?

Yes, the past tense would be used in French, just as in English.Specifically, the sentence in French requires the use of the passé composé. This tense is translated into English as the past perfect. It is formed by combining one of two auxiliary verbs in their present forms with the appropriate past participle. That is why the tense literally translates as "composed past."The sentence therefore would read as follows in French: Je ne suis pas allé � l'école.


What does passerais mean?

"Passerais" is the first-person singular conditional form of the French verb "passer," which means "to pass" or "to go by." In this context, it translates to "I would pass" or "I would go" in English. The conditional tense is often used to express hypothetical situations or actions that depend on certain conditions.


How do you say 'wouldn't' in french?

French does not work like this, I will explain.In English, we add "would" to any verb to create the conditional, i.e. would + eat = would eat, the conditional form of the verb "to eat". (The conditional tense concerns actions that you "would do", or, more precisely, actions that are to be performed provided certain criteria had existed at some previous moment).In French, the conditional is a single-word tense, i.e. conditional of manger = je mangerais, tu mangerais, il mangerait, nous mangerions, vous mangeriez, ils mangeraient. Notice that unlike the English, the conditional piece is simply a conjugation of the verb and not a separate word that can simply be "stuck in".In order to negate the conditional, the traditional ne...pas is used.A note on the Community Answer: "ne serait pas" is "it would not be" since "ser" is the root that comes from etre, the French verb meaning "to be". In any context not using the verb "to be", adding this would be incorrect to the point of not being understood.

What does temps mean in french?

The word "temps" in French can be translated into English as "time" (je n'ai pas le temps de faire ça = I haven't got the time to do that), "weather" (que temps fait-il = how's the weather?), or "tense" (un temps simple = a simple tense).
