Conditionnel Passé (Conditional Past) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb dépeupler
Introduction to the verb dépeupler
The English translation of the French verb dépeupler is “to depopulate.” The infinitive form, dépeupler, is pronounced as “day-peh-poo-pleh.”
Dépeupler comes from the French prefix “dé-“, meaning “remove” or “undo,” and the word “peuple,” meaning “people.” It is most often used in everyday French as a transitive verb, meaning it requires a direct object, and is used to describe the action of reducing the number of inhabitants in a particular area or region.
In the Conditionnel Passé tense, dépeupler is used to talk about a hypothetical or possible action that would have taken place in the past. It is formed by conjugating the auxiliary verb “avoir” in the Conditionnel Présent tense, and adding the past participle of dépeupler, which is “dépeuplé.”
Here are three simple examples of dépeupler in the Conditionnel Passé tense, with their respective English translations:
- Si nous avions dépeuplé cette région, elle serait maintenant un havre de paix. (If we had depopulated this region, it would now be a haven of peace.)
- Vous auriez dépeuplé la ville si vous aviez construit cette autoroute. (You would have depopulated the city if you had built this highway.)
- Ils auraient dépeuplé la région de ses ressources en exploitant ses terres. (They would have depopulated the region of its resources by exploiting its lands.)
