Conditionnel Passé (Conditional Past) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb cendrer
Introduction to the verb cendrer
The English translation of the French verb cendrer is “to ash/to turn to ash.” The infinitive form is pronounced “sahn-dreh.”
The word cendrer comes from the French noun cendre, meaning “ash.” It can also be traced back to the Latin word “cinis,” meaning “ashes.” In everyday French, cendrer is most often used in the Conditionnel Passé tense, which expresses an action that would have happened in the past, but did not occur.
Some examples of cendrer in the Conditionnel Passé tense are:
- J’aurais cendré le feu si j’avais trouvé du bois sec.
(I would have ashed the fire if I had found dry wood.) - Tu aurais cendré ses vêtements si tu avais mis tes chaussures dehors.
(You would have ashed his clothes if you had left your shoes outside.) - Elle aurait cendré le barbecue si elle n’avait pas oublié d’acheter du charbon.
(She would have ashed the barbecue if she hadn’t forgotten to buy charcoal.)
In these examples, cendrer is used to describe the action of turning something into ash, in the past conditional tense. The English translations use the auxiliary verb “would have” to convey the same meaning.
