Conditionnel Passé (Conditional Past) Tense Conjugation of the French Verb gléner
Introduction to the verb gléner
The English translation of the French verb gléner is “to glean.” It is pronounced “glay-nay.”
The verb gléner comes from the Old French word “glaener,” which is derived from the Latin word “glanare,” meaning “to gather” or “to glean.” Gleaning is the act of gathering leftover crops from a field after the main harvest has been completed.
In everyday French, gléner is most often used in the Conditionnel Passé tense, which is used to express a hypothetical or imaginary action that would have taken place in the past if certain conditions had been met. For example, “Si j’avais été là, j’aurais glané quelques pommes” translates to “If I had been there, I would have gleaned some apples.”
Here are three simple examples of gléner in the Conditionnel Passé tense:
- Si tu avais passé plus de temps à la ferme, tu aurais glané plus de raisins. (If you had spent more time at the farm, you would have gleaned more grapes.)
- Nous aurions glané plus de légumes si le temps avait été meilleur. (We would have gleaned more vegetables if the weather had been better.)
- Si vous aviez laissé les enfants avec moi, j’aurais glané des fleurs pour la maison. (If you had left the children with me, I would have gleaned some flowers for the house.)
