Le Conditionnel Passé deals with action that "would have happened". For example, I didn't go to his house, but I would have gone there if he hadn't left at 11:00. Example: If you had studied, you would have passed the test. Forming the PCOND is just like forming the PASSÉ COMPOSÉ and PLUS-QUE-PARFAIT, except for PCOND you use the CONDITIONNEL of the auxiliary verb. p comp - I have spoken - j'ai parlé pqp - I had spoken - j'avais parlé pcond - I would have spoken - j'aurais parlé p comp - they have left - ils sont partis pqp - they had left - ils étaient partis pcond - they would have left - ils seraient partis p comp - we saw her - nous l'avons vue pqp - we had seen her - nous l'avions vue pcond - we would have seen her - nous l'aurions vue p comp - she woke up - elle s'est réveillée pqp - she had woken up - elle s'était réveillée pcond - she would have woken up - elle se serait réveillée p comp - she has washed her hands - elle s'est lavé les mains pqp - she had washed her hands - elle s'était lavé les mains pcond - she would have washed her hands - elle se serait lavé les mains
