Conditionnel Passé (Conditional Past) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb alarmer
Introduction to the verb alarmer
The English translation of the French verb alarmer is “to alarm” or “to alert.” It is pronounced as “a-la-may” in the infinitive form.
The word alarmer comes from the Latin word “alarmare,” meaning “to excite, arouse, or alarm.” It was first used in French in the 14th century, and its meaning has remained relatively unchanged since then.
In everyday French, the verb alarmer is most often used in the Conditionnel Passé tense, which expresses a hypothetical or possible action in the past. It is formed by using the conditional form of the auxiliary verb “avoir” or “être,” followed by the past participle of alarmer.
Here are three simple examples of alarmer used in the Conditionnel Passé tense, with their English translations:
-

-
Nous serions venus vous aider si vous nous aviez alarmés. (We would have come to help you if you had alerted us.)
In these examples, alarmer is used to express a past event or action that could have happened if a certain condition had been met. It is often used in situations where someone could have potentially avoided a problem or a negative outcome if they had been alerted or alarmed earlier.
