Conditionnel Passé (Conditional Past) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb dégrever
Introduction to the verb dégrever
The English translation of the French verb dégrever is “to exempt” or “to relieve.” It is pronounced as “deh-greh-vay.”
Dégrever comes from the French word “grever,” which means “to burden” or “to weigh down.” The prefix “dé-” adds a negative or opposite meaning, so dégrever can be translated as “to unburden” or “to remove a burden.”
In every day French, dégrever is most often used in the Conditionnel Passé tense, which expresses a hypothetical or unreal action in the past. It is formed by using the conditional form of the auxiliary verb “avoir” or “être” and the past participle of dégrever.
Examples:
- Si j’avais pu, je vous aurais dégrevé de vos taxes. (If I could, I would have exempted you from your taxes.)
- Nous serions dégrevés de cette responsabilité si nous avions pris une décision différente. (We would have been relieved of this responsibility if we had made a different decision.)
- Ils auraient dégrevé les charges si la situation économique avait été meilleure. (They would have relieved the burden if the economic situation had been better.)
