\mymulticolumn{1}{x{8.4cm}}{\bf\textcolor{white}{Conditional Tense}}  \tn
\SetRowColor{white}
\mymulticolumn{1}{x{8.4cm}}{Le conditionnel (the conditional) can be used in French as a tense and as a mood. As a tense, le conditionnel expresses the future seen from a past point of view. As a mood, the conditional allows us to talk about a hypothetical or imagined reality that can only occur under certain circumstances. \newline % Row Count 6 (+ 6)
It's considered a mood NOT a tense, which describes how an action takes place (rather than when). \newline % Row Count 8 (+ 2)
When to use le conditionnel in French:  Le conditionnel is often translated with would or could in English. In French, we use the conditional in the following cases: \newline % Row Count 12 (+ 4)
to express a wish, a possibility, or a hypothesis in the present or the future (conditionnel présent) or in the past (conditionnel passé) \newline % Row Count 15 (+ 3)
as a tense to talk about the future from a past point of view \newline % Row Count 17 (+ 2)
in if-clauses (see the section on conditional clauses \newline % Row Count 19 (+ 2)
to make polite requests \newline % Row Count 20 (+ 1)
The conditional is called "le conditionnel" and its endings are -ais, -ais, -ait, -ions, -iez, -aient (the imperfect endings).% Row Count 23 (+ 3)

\mymulticolumn{1}{x{8.4cm}}{Present conditional \newline % Row Count 1 (+ 1)
To conjugate the present conditional (le présent du conditionnel), add the conditional ending to the infinitive, just as you would when forming the future tense. For regular -re verbs add the endings to the infinitive minus the final -e. \newline % Row Count 6 (+ 5)
The stem used to form the conditional is the same as the stem of the future (usually the infinitive). The conditional endings are -ais, -ais, -ait, -ions, -iez, -aient (These are also the imperfect endings).% Row Count 11 (+ 5)

\mymulticolumn{1}{x{8.4cm}}{SI CLAUSES: \newline % Row Count 1 (+ 1)
The first si clause doesn't actually use the conditional mood at all: \newline % Row Count 3 (+ 2)
Si + Present, Future Simple \newline % Row Count 4 (+ 1)
Si j'ai le temps, je t'appellerai. (If I have time, I'll call you.) \newline % Row Count 6 (+ 2)
This si clause expresses certain actions taken in the future should an event occur in the present. One implies that the present action is nearly certain, thus the use of the future instead of the conditional. \newline % Row Count 11 (+ 5)
The second si clause in French is as follows: \newline % Row Count 12 (+ 1)
Si + Imperfect, Conditional \newline % Row Count 13 (+ 1)
Si j'avais le temps, je t'appellerais. (If I had time, I would call you.) \newline % Row Count 15 (+ 2)
This si clause expresses actions that are based entirely on a condition. It is implied that the action is possible but not certain. \newline % Row Count 18 (+ 3)
The third si clause in French is as follows: \newline % Row Count 19 (+ 1)
Si + Pluperfect, Past Conditional \newline % Row Count 20 (+ 1)
Si j'avais eu le temps, je t'aurais appelé. (If I'd had time, I would've called you.) \newline % Row Count 22 (+ 2)
This si clause expresses a certain amount of regret. It's the idea that "should have" or "could have" expresses in English. As you can see from the above sentence, the past conditional is quite easy to form once you know the conditional and the passé composé.  \newline % Row Count 28 (+ 6)
Like the plus perfect or plus-que-parfait, the past conditional is a composed tense made up of the conditional of the auxiliary verb (être or avoir, depending on the lexical verb) and the past participle of the lexical verb. \newline % Row Count 33 (+ 5)

Je veux un sandwich. (I want a sandwich.) \newline % Row Count 6 (+ 1)
Je voudrais un sandwich. (I would like a sandwich.) \newline % Row Count 8 (+ 2)

The politeness aspect of the conditional should really only be used with verbs expressing desire, like vouloir, aimer, désirer or with verbs that incite action from the other person—like pouvoir or devoir. Other than these verbs, err on the side of caution when considering the conditional to express politeness. \newline % Row Count 9 (+ 7)
