I think there are no conditional verbs but there are conditional sentences. eg

If it rains we will get wet.

The conditional clause begins with if and the main clause begins with we.

The event in the main clause depends on the condition in the conditional clause.

What are 'etre' verbs?

The French past tense that's called 'passe compose' is composed of an auxiliary verb and the main verb in past participle form. In the passe compose tense, the auxiliary verb is the conjugation of either 'etre' ['to be'] or 'avoir' ['to have']. Those verbs that have 'avoir' as their auxiliary choice are called 'avoir' verbs. Those verbs that have 'etre' as their auxiliary choice are called 'etre' verbs. For example, 'venir' ['to come'] is an 'etre' verb. So 'I did come, have come, came' is translated as 'Je suis venue', with 'je' meaning 'I'. The choice of 'etre' or 'avoir' carries through to all of the other combined tenses, such as the conditional perfect, future perfect, pluperfect, etc.

What is a conditional verb?

Modal verbs (such as would, could, and should) are used to create conditional sentences. Conditional sentences need an if clause and a result clause. They usually, but not always, express something imagined or contrary to fact. Conditionals are somewhat confusing because they use past tense verbs to express a present tense idea.If I were rich, I would travel the world. (Present tense--something I desire right now.)If I had been rich, I would have travelled the world.(Past tense--something I had desired in the past.)Hope this helps!


Is would an adverb?
