Conditionnel Passé (Conditional Past) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb déroder
Introduction to the verb déroder
The English translation of the French verb déroder is “to erode” or “to wear away.” It is pronounced as [deh-roh-deh].
The word déroder comes from the Latin verb “erodere,” meaning “to gnaw away” or “to consume.” It entered the French language in the 14th century.
In everyday French, déroder is most often used in the Conditionnel Passé tense, which is the conditional perfect tense in English. This tense is used to express a past action that would have happened if certain conditions had been met.
Examples:
- Si j’avais continué à fumer, mes dents se seraient dérodées. (If I had continued to smoke, my teeth would have eroded.)
- Nous aurions dû protéger la plage, elle s’est dérodée à cause des tempêtes. (We should have protected the beach, it eroded because of the storms.)
- Tu n’aurais pas dû marcher sur la falaise, elle s’est dérodée et tu es tombé. (You shouldn’t have walked on the cliff, it eroded and you fell.)
In each of these examples, the Conditionnel Passé tense is used to describe a past event that did not actually happen, but would have happened if the conditions had been different. In English, this tense is often translated using “would have” + past participle.
