Conditionnel Passé (Conditional Past) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb croquer
Introduction to the verb croquer
The English translation of the French verb croquer is “to crunch” or “to bite into.” The infinitive form is pronounced as “kro-kay.”
The word croquer comes from the Old French word “crochier,” which means “to bite.” It is most often used in everyday French in the Conditionnel Passé tense, which is formed by using the auxiliary verb “avoir” in the Conditionnel Présent tense and the past participle form of the verb.
Three simple examples of its usage in this tense are:
-
Si j’avais eu faim, j’aurais croqué dans cette pomme délicieuse. (If I had been hungry, I would have bitten into this delicious apple.)
-
Ils auraient croqué tous les bonbons s’ils avaient eu le temps. (They would have crunched on all the candies if they had had the time.)
-
Nous aurions croqué tous les légumes si nous avions su que c’était notre dernier repas. (We would have bitten into all the vegetables if we had known it was our last meal.)
In everyday French, croquer is often used in the Conditionnel Passé tense to express something that might have happened in the past under certain circumstances. It can also be used in a more literal sense to talk about biting into food.
