Conditionnel Passé (Conditional Past) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb congestionner
Introduction to the verb congestionner
The English translation of the French verb congestionner is “to congest/to clog”. The infinitive form of the verb is pronounced as “kohng-jehs-teh-nyeh”.
The word “congestionner” comes from the French word “congestion”, which ultimately comes from the Latin word “congestio” meaning “accumulation”. In everyday French, “congestionner” is most often used in the Conditionnel Passé tense, which expresses a hypothetical or unreal situation in the past. This tense is formed by using the conditional form of the auxiliary verb “avoir” (j’aurais, tu aurais, il/elle aurait, nous aurions, vous auriez, ils/elles auraient) followed by the past participle of the verb.
Three examples of its usage in this tense, with the respective English translations, are:
- Si tu avais pris un autre itinéraire, tu n’aurais pas congestionné la route. (If you had taken a different route, you wouldn’t have congested the road.)
- Nous aurions dû éviter cette rue, elle est toujours congestionnée à cette heure-ci. (We should have avoided this street, it is always congested at this time.)
- Si les gens ne conduisaient pas de voitures, les villes ne seraient pas congestionnées. (If people didn’t drive cars, cities wouldn’t be congested.)
