- Elle m’aurait drogué sans mon consentement si je ne m’étais pas réveillé à temps. (She would have drugged me without my consent if I hadn’t woken up in time.)
In these examples, the Conditionnel Passé tense is used to indicate a hypothetical action in the past. The verb droguer is used to describe the action of administering drugs or substances to someone without their knowledge or consent.
