Conditionnel Passé (Conditional Past) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb affurer
Introduction to the verb affurer
The English translation of the French verb affurer is “to ensure” or “to guarantee.” It is pronounced as “ah-fyoo-ray.”
Affurer comes from the Latin word “affirmare,” meaning to confirm or assert. It is most often used in everyday French in the Conditionnel Passé tense, which is used to express a potential action in the past that did not happen.
Three simple examples of its usage in this tense are:
- Si j’avais affuré le paiement, je n’aurais pas eu de problèmes financiers. (If I had ensured the payment, I wouldn’t have had financial problems.)
- Ils auraient dû s’affurer que la porte était verrouillée avant de partir. (They should have made sure that the door was locked before leaving.)
- Nous aurions affuré que tout le monde soit au courant des changements. (We would have ensured that everyone was aware of the changes.)
In these examples, affurer is used to express the idea of guaranteeing or ensuring something in the past, but it did not happen for various reasons. The Conditionnel Passé tense is often used to express regret or blame in these types of situations.
