Lesson 9: Modern France

Past Conditional

The past conditional is fairly simple to form. It is used to express what you would have done if a certain condition had been met (I would have gone to school).
To form the past conditional, you put the auxiliary verb into the conditional and add the past participle of the verb like so: Je serais allé(e) à l’école, mais j’étais malade.
