Conditionnel Passé (Conditional Past) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb désembrayer
Introduction to the verb désembrayer
The English translation of the French verb désembrayer is “to disengage” or “to uncouple.” It is pronounced as “day-sahm-breh-yay.”
Désembrayer comes from the French word “embrayer,” which means “to engage.” The prefix “dés-” in front of it changes the meaning to the opposite, therefore creating the meaning of “disengage.”
In everyday French, désembrayer is most often used in the conditionnel passé tense to express something that could have happened in the past, but did not actually happen. It is formed by using the conditional auxiliary verb “avoir” or “être,” followed by the past participle of désembrayer.
Examples:
- J’aurais désembrayé la voiture si j’avais su qu’elle était en panne. (I would have disengaged the car if I had known it was broken down.)
- Nous serions désembrayés du groupe si nous n’étions pas d’accord avec leur décision. (We would have uncoupled from the group if we didn’t agree with their decision.)
- Vous auriez désembrayé le train si vous aviez entendu l’annonce. (You would have disengaged the train if you had heard the announcement.)
