Conditionnel Passé (Conditional Past) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb computer
Introduction to the verb computer
The English translation of the French verb “computer” is “to compute” or “to calculate.” The infinitive form is pronounced as “kom-pyoo-tey.”
The word “computer” originated from the Latin word “computare,” which means “to count, sum up, calculate.” It was first used in the English language in the mid-17th century to refer to a person who performed calculations.
In everyday French, the verb “computer” is most often used in the Conditionnel Passé tense, which is the conditional perfect tense in English. This tense is used to talk about actions that would have happened in the past if certain conditions had been met.
Here are three simple examples of its usage in this tense, with their respective English translations:
- Si j’avais eu un ordinateur, j’aurais pu travailler de chez moi. (If I had had a computer, I could have worked from home.)
- Nous aurions fini le projet plus tôt s’il n’y avait pas eu de problème avec l’ordinateur. (We would have finished the project earlier if there hadn’t been a problem with the computer.)
- Tu n’aurais pas perdu tes données si tu avais fait une sauvegarde sur l’ordinateur. (You wouldn’t have lost your data if you had backed it up on the computer.)
