Conditionnel Passé (Conditional Past) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb excéder
Introduction to the verb excéder
The English translation of the French verb excéder is “to exceed” or “to go beyond.” It is pronounced as “eks-seh-deh” in the infinitive form.
The language origin of excéder can be traced back to the Latin word “excedere,” meaning “to go out” or “to surpass.” In everyday French, it is most often used in the Conditionnel Passé tense, which is the conditional perfect tense in English. This tense is used to express actions that would have taken place in the past if certain conditions were met.
Here are three simple examples of excéder used in the Conditionnel Passé tense with their English translations:
- Si j’avais su que le prix excéderait mon budget, je n’aurais pas acheté cette robe. (If I had known that the price would exceed my budget, I wouldn’t have bought this dress.)
- Nous aurions terminé le projet à temps si les retards n’avaient pas excédé nos prévisions. (We would have finished the project on time if the delays had not exceeded our expectations.)
- Si mes économies n’avaient pas excédé 10 000 euros, je n’aurais pas pu acheter cette voiture. (If my savings had not exceeded 10,000 euros, I wouldn’t have been able to buy this car.)
In all of these examples, the verb excéder is used to express going beyond a limit or expectation in the past, and the Conditionnel Passé tense adds a conditional aspect to the sentence.
