Conditionnel Passé (Conditional Past) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb crier
Introduction to the verb crier
The English translation of the French verb crier is “to shout” or “to yell.” In its infinitive form, it is pronounced as “kree-ey.”
The language origin of crier can be traced back to the Latin word “quiritare” which means “to scream” or “to shout.” It evolved into the Old French word “crier” which had a similar meaning. In modern French, crier is most often used in its present tense form “je crie” (I shout) or “tu cries” (you shout) to express the action of shouting or yelling.
In the Conditionnel Passé tense, crier is used to express a possibility or potential action in the past. It is formed by conjugating the auxiliary verb “avoir” in the Conditionnel Présent tense and adding the past participle of crier, which is “crié.” It translates to “would have shouted” or “would have yelled” in English.
Here are three simple examples of using crier in the Conditionnel Passé tense:
- Si j’avais su que tu étais là, j’aurais crié ton nom. (If I had known you were there, I would have shouted your name.)
- Elle aurait crié de joie en apprenant la nouvelle. (She would have yelled with joy upon hearing the news.)
- Nous aurions crié plus fort si nous avions su qu’ils ne pouvaient pas nous entendre. (We would have shouted louder if we had known they couldn’t hear us.)
