Est-ce que vous pouvez expliquer comment le conditionnel est créé?
Point de départ The conditional expresses what you would do or what would happen under certain circumstances. The conditional of regular verbs is formed by using the infinitive form of the verb as the stem. To form the conditional of –er and –ir verbs, add the imparfait endings to the infinitive. Drop the –e from the infinitive of –re verbs before adding the endings to it.
acheter nettoyer payer s‘appeler emmener Note the conditional form of most spelling change –er verbs: acheter nettoyer payer s‘appeler emmener jeter je jette jetter je jetterais *These stems apply to all subject conjugations in the conditional. Nous achèterions des vélos.
For –er verbs with an è before the infinitive ending, form the conditional the same way as regular verbs. Meaning that, even though these accents change direction in the present tense “inside the boot” they DO NOT change to create the conditional stem.
Some verbs use irregular stems in the conditional. voir verr- mourir mourr
The conditional forms of il y a, il faut, and il pleut are, respectively, il y aurait, il faudrait, and il pleuvrait.
