Le conditionnel or the conditional in French
The Conditional Tense in French is used in a largely similar way to that in
which it is used in English.
It expresses a condition, i.e. "would" in English. The conditional clause will
often be dependent upon a "si clause" (which will be in the imperfect (See
note below))
e.g. S'il faisait beau, j'irais à la plage avec ma famille.
If the weather were good, I would go to the beach with my family.
Si elle avait plus d'argent, elle sortirait plus souvent avec ses amis.
If she had more money, she would go out with her friends more often.
Mes parents viendraient avec nous, s'ils n'étaient pas obligés de travailler.
My parents would come with us, if they didn't have to work.
It can also express a future-in-the-past:
e.g. Elle a dit qu'elle partirait vers neuf heures.
She said she would leave around nine o'clock.
Formation of the Conditional Tense:
This is easy in French. The Conditional Tense is formed by taking the
FUTURE STEM of the verb, and adding the IMPERFECT ENDINGS.
e.g. VENIR = VIENDR + je ____ ais je viendrais
tu ____ ais tu viendrais
il ____ ait il viendrait
nous ____ ions nous viendrions
vous ____ iez vous viendriez
ils ____ aient ils viendraient

Tenses in Conditional Sentences:
As noted above, the IMPERFECT and CONDITIONAL are used together
in "si clauses" in the same way as they are used in English.
e.g. If I won the lottery, I would buy a larger house.
Si je gagnais à la loterie, j'achèterais une plus grande maison.
If my friend were not on holiday, we would go to the cinema together.
Si mon ami n'était pas en vacances, nous irions ensemble au cinéma.
This tense rule should be NOTED WELL as English learner of French
tend to want to use the conditional in both parts of the sentence, even
though this is not the case in English

Transition
The subjunctive
The subjunctive
• Form the subjunctive of regular verbs by replacing the -ent ending of the
ils/elles
form of present tense with the subjunctive endings.
The set of endings is the same for -er, -re, and -ir verbs.
-e -es -e -ions -iez -ent
• Verbs that have different stems for ils/elles and nous/vous in the present tense,
(prendre, devoir, voir, venir, boire, etc.) will use their nous/vous stem
for nous and vous in the subjunctive, and their ils/elles stem for all
other forms.
Present prendre: nous prenons / ils prennent
Subjunctive prenne, prennes, prenne, prenions, preniez, prennent
Present devoir: nous devons / ils doivent
Subjunctive doive, doives, doive, devions, deviez, doivent
• Aller, faire, être and avoir are all irregular in the subjunctive. Aller and
faire take regular endings, être and avoir do not.
aller: aille, ailles, aille, allions, alliez, aillent
faire: fasse, fasses, fasse, fassions, fassiez, fassent
