Conditionnel Passé (Conditional Past) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb abroger
Introduction to the verb abroger
The English translation of the French verb abroger is “to repeal” or “to revoke.” The infinitive form is pronounced “ah-broh-zhay.”
The word abroger comes from the Latin word “abrogare,” meaning “to annul” or “to repeal.” It entered the French language in the 15th century and has been in use ever since.
In everyday French, abroger is most often used in the Conditionnel Passé tense to express the idea of “would have repealed” or “would have revoked.” This tense is used to talk about hypothetical actions or events that could have happened in the past.
Here are three simple examples of abroger in the Conditionnel Passé tense, with their English translations:
- Si j’avais été élu président, j’aurais abrogé la loi sur les taxes. (If I had been elected president, I would have repealed the tax law.)
- Nous aurions abrogé cette règle si elle avait été injuste. (We would have revoked this rule if it had been unfair.)
- Tu n’aurais pas abrogé ton engagement si tu avais su les conséquences. (You would not have repealed your commitment if you had known the consequences.)
In all of these examples, abroger is used to express a hypothetical action in the past. Without the use of the Conditionnel Passé tense, the sentences would have a different meaning. For example, “Si j’étais élu président, j’abrogerais la loi sur les taxes” would mean “If I were elected president, I would repeal the tax law” – indicating a future possibility rather than a hypothetical past action.
