Conditionnel Passé (Conditional Past) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb exaspérer
Introduction to the verb exaspérer
The English translation of the French verb exaspérer is “to exasperate” or “to irritate.” The infinitive form of exaspérer is pronounced “eh-gzah-seh-pé-ray.”
Exaspérer comes from the Latin word “exacerbare,” which means “to irritate.” It entered the French language in the 16th century and has been used in everyday speech since then.
In the Conditionnel Passé tense, exaspérer is often used to express a hypothetical or imaginary situation in the past. It is formed by using the auxiliary verb “avoir” in the Conditionnel Présent tense followed by the past participle of exaspérer.
- Si tu avais continué à me critiquer, j’aurais fini par m’exaspérer. (If you had kept criticizing me, I would have ended up getting exasperated.)
- J’aurais été moins patiente si elle ne m’avait pas exaspérée avec ses questions incessantes. (I would have been less patient if she hadn’t irritated me with her incessant questions.)
- On aurait dû quitter la fête plus tôt, ça nous aurait évité de nous exaspérer avec nos voisins bruyants. (We should have left the party earlier, it would have prevented us from getting exasperated with our noisy neighbors.)
In these examples, exaspérer is used to convey a sense of irritation or frustration in a hypothetical scenario. The Conditionnel Passé tense allows for the expression of a potential outcome that did not actually happen in the past.
