  1. FRENCH VERBS: CONDITIONAL TENSEWho is doing the verb?Which subject pronoun do I need?What do I need to do to create the stem for the verb?What are the correct endings that need to be added? AIMS: To learn how to recognise regular and irregular conditional tense verbs. To learn how to form regular and irregular conditional tense verbs.

  2. What are conditional tense verbs? • Conditional tense verbs describe an action that would happen in the future (if, for example, something else were to happen as well). • Examples in English are: I would run and I would hide (if a bear was chasing me!). • The first great thing about the conditional tense is that the endings are always the same. It is only the stem that changes (on occasions). • The second great thing is that the endings are exactly the same as the imperfect tense.

  3. NOT VERBS ARE LIKE FLOWERS IN THE CONDITIONAL TENSE REGARDER FINIR RÉPONDRE HEAD > STEM >

  4. VERBS ARE LIKE BUILDING BLOCKS BECAUSE THEY LOOK TO THE FUTURE. AS A RESULT, YOU ADD ENDINGS TO INFINITIVES. Think of it as building to the future OR in the case of the conditional tense, how things would be (in the future).

  5. R There is also a magic letter (ooooo!) All endings should come directly after the magic R in every case.

  6. That magic R is why we do a little bit of chopping when we remove the E from the –RE infinitives. REGARDER FINIR RÉPONDRE REGARDER FINIR RÉPONDR_

  7. Step 1: Choose the correct subject pronoun (the person doing the verb).

  8. That magic R is why we do a little bit of chopping when we remove the E from the –RE infinitives. REGARDER FINIR RÉPONDRE REGARDER FINIR RÉPONDR_

  9. Step 3: Add the correct ending to make the conditional tense.The great thing is that the endings are exactly the same as the imperfect tense!

  10. Now you will see a demonstration of how to apply this knowledge in some examples.When creating verbs yourself, you can either use a paper dictionary or an online dictionary like www.wordreference.com
