Conditionnel Passé (Conditional Past) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb chevretter
Introduction to the verb chevretter
The English translation of the French verb chevretter is “to bleat.” It is pronounced “shev-ret-ay.”
The word chevretter comes from the French noun “chèvre” meaning “goat” and the suffix “-er” which is used to form verbs. It is most often used in everyday French in the Conditionnel Passé tense, which is used to express a hypothetical or uncertain event that would have taken place in the past.
Some examples of chevretter in the Conditionnel Passé tense are:
- Si j’avais entendu la chèvre chevretter, je serais allé voir ce qui se passait. (If I had heard the goat bleating, I would have gone to see what was happening.)
- Tu aurais dû nourrir les chèvres avant qu’elles ne commencent à chevretter. (You should have fed the goats before they started bleating.)
- Il aurait été plus calme si la chèvre n’avait pas commencé à chevretter. (It would have been quieter if the goat hadn’t started bleating.)
In each of these examples, the English translation of chevretter remains the same: “to bleat.” However, in the Conditionnel Passé tense, it is used to indicate a past event that did not actually happen or that was uncertain.
