Conditionnel Passé (Conditional Past) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb déborder
Introduction to the verb déborder
The English translation of the French verb déborder is “to overflow” or “to spill over.” The infinitive form is pronounced as “day-bor-day.”
Déborder comes from the French prefix “dé-” which means “out” or “beyond” and the verb “border” which means “to border” or “to enclose.” This verb is most often used in everyday French in the Conditionnel Passé tense, which corresponds to the English “would have + past participle.”
Three simple examples of its usage in this tense are:
- Si j’avais cuisiné plus, le plat n’aurait pas débordé. (If I had cooked more, the dish wouldn’t have overflowed.)
- Nous aurions dû vider la piscine avant qu’elle ne déborde. (We should have emptied the pool before it spilled over.)
- Si vous aviez fermé le robinet, la baignoire ne se serait pas débordée. (If you had closed the tap, the bathtub wouldn’t have overflowed.)
These examples show how déborder can be used in different contexts, such as in cooking, filling a pool, or using a bathtub. In each case, it conveys the idea of something overflowing or spilling over.
