Conditionnel Passé (Conditional Past) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb entailler
Introduction to the verb entailler
The English translation of the French verb entailler is “to notch” or “to carve.” The infinitive form is pronounced as “ahn-tah-yay.”
Entailler comes from the Old French word “entaillier,” which is derived from the Latin word “intaliare,” meaning “to engrave” or “to cut into.” In everyday French, it is most often used in the Conditionnel Passé tense, which expresses a hypothetical action in the past. It is formed by using the conditional form of the auxiliary verb “avoir” or “être” followed by the past participle of entailler.
Example 1: Si j’avais su, j’aurais entaillé mon nom sur l’arbre. (If I had known, I would have carved my name on the tree.)
Example 2: Elle aurait entaillé le bois avec précision si elle avait un meilleur couteau. (She would have notched the wood precisely if she had a better knife.)
Example 3: Nous serions allés entailler l’écorce des arbres si le temps avait été plus clément. (We would have gone to notch the bark of the trees if the weather had been better.)
In these examples, entailler is used to describe the action of carving or notching something. In the Conditionnel Passé tense, it expresses that the action was not completed because of a hypothetical situation in the past.
