Introduction to the verb ensemencer
The English translation of the French verb ensemencer is “to sow” or “to seed”. The infinitive form, ensemencer, is pronounced as “ahn-sem-ahn-say”.
Ensemencer comes from the Latin word “seminare” meaning “to sow” or “to plant”. It is most often used in everyday French in the Conditionnel Passé tense, which is the past conditional tense. This tense is used to express a hypothetical action or event that would have happened in the past if certain conditions had been met.

- Nous aurions ensemencé toutes les parcelles si le temps avait été favorable. (We would have sown all the plots if the weather had been favorable.)
In each of these examples, the verb ensemencer is conjugated in the Conditionnel Passé tense to express a possibility or hypothetical action in the past. The English translations also use the conditional tense to convey the same meaning.
