Conditionnel Passé (Conditional Past) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb formaliser
Introduction to the verb formaliser
The English translation of the French verb formaliser is “to formalize.” The infinitive form is pronounced as fohr-mah-lee-zay.
The word formaliser is derived from the Latin word “formalis,” meaning “formal.” It entered the French language in the 19th century and is most often used in a business or legal context to describe the process of making something official or officializing something.
In everyday French, formaliser is commonly used in the Conditionnel Passé tense, which expresses a hypothetical or conditional action that would have taken place in the past. Here are three simple examples of its usage in this tense:
- Si tu avais formalisé ta demande à temps, tu aurais obtenu une réponse positive. (If you had formalized your request on time, you would have received a positive response.)
- Nous aurions pu commencer les travaux plus tôt si vous aviez formalisé le contrat la semaine dernière. (We could have started the work earlier if you had formalized the contract last week.)
- Elle se demande si son patron aurait accepté sa proposition si elle l’avait formalisée de manière plus détaillée. (She wonders if her boss would have accepted her proposal if she had formalized it in more detail.)
In all of these examples, the action of formalizing is presented as a condition that could have led to a different outcome.
