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 venir in the conditionnel?

The conditionnel of venir is: je viendrais, tu viendrais, il/elle/on viendrait, nous viendrions, vous viendriez, ils/elles viendraient. Same stem 'viendr-' as the futur, plus imperfect endings.

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

Standard French hypothetical: 'si + imparfait, + conditionnel': 'si tu m'invitais, je viendrais' (if you invited me, I would come). The 'si' clause expresses the hypothetical condition; the main clause expresses the result. The conditionnel of venir is one of the most-used in this structure.

What does 'tu viendrais bien?' mean?

'Tu viendrais bien?' = 'Would you (gladly) come?' — a soft, polite invitation. The 'bien' adds gentleness, conveying that you'd appreciate it if they came. The conditional 'viendrais' (rather than 'viens' or 'tu viendras') softens the request from question/command to invitation.
