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 vendre in the conditionnel?

The conditionnel of vendre is: je vendrais, tu vendrais, il/elle/on vendrait, nous vendrions, vous vendriez, ils/elles vendraient. Same stem 'vendr-' as the futur, plus imperfect endings.

How do I form a si-imparfait + conditionnel sentence with vendre?

Standard hypothetical: 'si j'avais besoin d'argent, je vendrais ma voiture' (if I needed money, I would sell my car). The 'si' clause uses the imparfait; the main clause uses the conditionnel. Never put the conditionnel in the 'si' clause.

What does 'vendrais-tu?' mean?

'Vendrais-tu?' (= would you sell?) uses inversion to form a question. Equivalent: 'tu vendrais?' or 'est-ce que tu vendrais?'. The conditional 'vendrais' (rather than the indicative 'vends') softens the question — asking what someone would hypothetically do, not what they're doing now.
