Conditionnel Passé (Conditional Past) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb brêler
Introduction to the verb brêler
The English translation of the French verb brêler is “to burn”. It is pronounced “breh-lay” in the infinitive form.
Brêler comes from the Old French word “breceler” which means “to cook over coals”. It is derived from the Latin word “bracchium” which means “arm” and refers to the action of holding something over a fire with one’s arms. Today, brêler is most often used in everyday French to describe the action of burning or scorching something, either intentionally or accidentally.
In the Conditionnel Passé tense, brêler is used to express a hypothetical or possible action that would have taken place in the past. It is formed by conjugating the verb avoir in the Conditionnel Présent tense followed by the past participle brûlé. For example:
- Si j’avais fait attention, je n’aurais pas brûlé la viande. (If I had paid attention, I wouldn’t have burned the meat.)
- Tu aurais brûlé tes doigts si tu avais touché la poêle chaude. (You would have burned your fingers if you had touched the hot pan.)
- Ils auraient brûlé la forêt entière s’ils n’étaient pas intervenus à temps. (They would have burned down the entire forest if they had not intervened in time.)
