Conditionnel Passé (Conditional Past) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb examiner
Introduction to the verb examiner
The English translation of the French verb examiner is “to examine.” It is pronounced as “eg-zam-een-ay.”
The word “examiner” comes from the Latin word “examinare,” meaning “to weigh, test, or examine.” In everyday French, the verb “examiner” is most often used in the Conditionnel Passé tense, which expresses a hypothetical or future action that would have taken place in the past. It is formed by using the conditional form of the auxiliary verb “avoir” or “être” and the past participle of the verb.
Here are three simple examples of the usage of “examiner” in the Conditionnel Passé tense:
- Si j’avais étudié plus dur, j’aurais réussi l’examen. (If I had studied harder, I would have passed the exam.)
- Il aurait été mieux préparé s’il avait examiné le sujet avant l’examen. (He would have been better prepared if he had examined the topic before the exam.)
- Nous aurions été récompensés si nous avions examiné toutes les options avant de prendre une décision. (We would have been rewarded if we had examined all the options before making a decision.)
In all of these examples, the verb “examiner” is used to express the action of studying, analyzing, or inspecting something in the past. It is often used in academic or professional contexts, such as studying for an exam or evaluating a situation.
