Tip

Working with the conditionnel

The conditionnel présent ("je parlerais") expresses what would happen if a condition were met ("si j'avais le temps, je voyagerais" — if I had time, I would travel). It's also the standard form for polite requests in French: "je voudrais" (I would like) is the polite version of "je veux"; "pourriez-vous" (could you) is the polite version of "pouvez-vous". Structurally, the conditionnel uses the same stem as the futur with imperfect endings: parler- + -ais, -ais, -ait, -ions, -iez, -aient. Knowing the futur stem of any verb gives you the conditionnel for free — one of the most efficient pedagogy points in French.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

How do you conjugate partir in the conditionnel?

The conditionnel of partir is: je partirais, tu partirais, il/elle/on partirait, nous partirions, vous partiriez, ils/elles partiraient. Same full-infinitive stem as the futur, plus imperfect endings.

What does 'je partirais bien' mean?

'Je partirais bien' literally means 'I would leave well' but idiomatically means 'I'd love to leave' or 'I'd gladly go'. The 'bien' is an intensifier conveying eagerness. Same construction works for any verb of desire: 'je mangerais bien une pizza', 'je dormirais bien'.

How do I form a hypothetical with partir?

Standard French hypothetical structure: 'si + imparfait, + conditionnel': 'si j'avais le temps, je partirais' (if I had time, I would leave). Never put the conditional in the 'si' clause — that's a classic non-native error. The si-clause expresses the condition; the main clause expresses the result.
