Conditionnel Passé (Conditional Past) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb dévolter
Introduction to the verb dévolter
The English translation of the French verb dévolter is “to revolt” or “to rebel.” It is pronounced as “day-volt-eh” in the infinitive form.
The word dévolter comes from the French word “dévolution,” which means “reversion” or “transfer of power.” It is derived from the Latin word “devolvere,” which means “to roll down” or “to hand over.” This reflects the idea of overthrowing or transferring power in a political context.
In everyday French, dévolter is most often used in the Conditionnel Passé tense, which expresses a possible action that would have occurred in the past. This tense is formed by using the auxiliary verb “avoir” or “être” in the Conditionnel Présent tense followed by the past participle of the main verb, in this case, dévolté.
Three simple examples of dévolter in the Conditionnel Passé tense are:
- Si j’avais été élu président, j’aurais dévolté le système politique actuel. (If I had been elected president, I would have revolted against the current political system.)
- Les citoyens auraient dévolté contre l’augmentation des taxes. (The citizens would have rebelled against the tax increase.)
- Si nous avions organisé une manifestation, nous aurions dévolté contre les injustices sociales. (If we had organized a protest, we would have revolted against social injustices.)
Overall, dévolter is a verb that is often used to express acts of rebellion or revolt against a system or authority. It can also be used figuratively to describe a strong disagreement or opposition to something. In the Conditionnel Passé tense, it is used to express a hypothetical situation in which a revolt or rebellion would have taken place in the past.
