Conditionnel Passé (Conditional Past) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb anneler
Introduction to the verb anneler
The English translation of the French verb anneler is “to coil” or “to wind.” It is pronounced “ah-nel-ay.”
Anneler comes from the Old French word “anel,” meaning “ring” or “circle.” It is most often used in everyday French in the Conditionnel Passé tense, which is used to express a hypothetical or possible action in the past.
Here are three simple examples of its usage in this tense:
- Si j’avais annelé le fil correctement, il ne se serait pas déroulé. (If I had coiled the thread correctly, it would not have unraveled.)
- Elle aurait annelé ses cheveux pour le mariage, mais elle a finalement décidé de les laisser lâches. (She would have put her hair in a coil for the wedding, but she ultimately decided to leave it down.)
- Nous aurions annelé la corde autour de l’arbre, mais nous n’avions pas de corde assez longue. (We would have wound the rope around the tree, but we didn’t have a long enough rope.)
In each of these examples, the Conditionnel Passé tense is used to describe a hypothetical action (coiling the thread, putting the hair in a coil, winding the rope) that did not actually happen in the past. It is often accompanied by the conditional “would have” in English.
