le conditionnel « Would »
Objectif: SWBAT: Use the conditionnel mood to discuss having car trouble.
Now that we have reviewed. The conditionnel is the new tense we are learning. It means « would. »
How would you say « would » 1. find your stem 2. Add on the endings from the imperfect
1. Find your stem We find the stem by taking a verb and crossing out everything after the last R. trouver - stays trouver répondre - becomes repiner finir - becomes finir
2. Add on the imperfect endings. What were they? Je . . . ais Tu . . . ais Il . . . ait Nous . . . ions Vous . . . iez Ils . . . aient
Example: I would love We know love is aimer Je 1. Go to the last R 2. Add on imperfect ending je . . . ais So, it would become: Je aimerais
One last one We would look at Nous/ regarder 1. go to the last R 2. add in the imperfect ending nous regarderions
What about the verbs that don’t follow the pattern? like etre or avoir
etre - the stem is set je serais tu serais il serait nous serions vous seriez ils seraient
Avoir: to have Stem: aur j’aurais tu aurais il aurait nous aurions vous auriez ils auraient
