Conditional sentences are the combination of tenses you have in sentences following si.

Think what tenses are being used in the following examples:

• If I go, he will go too
• If I went, he would go too
• If I had gone, he would have gone too.

The same tenses apply in French.

Si works as follows:

Si + present tense, then future tense

1. Si je vais, il ira aussi
2. If I go , he will go too

Si + imperfect, then conditional

1. Si j'allais, il irait aussi
2. If I went, he would go too

Si + pluperfect, then conditional perfect

1. Si j'étais allé, il serait allé aussi
2. If I had gone, he would have gone too

The pluperfect is formed the same as the perfect but uses the imperfect form of avoir or être in the middle.

The conditional perfect is the same as the perfect but uses the conditional tense of avoir or être in the middle.

Verbs that take être in the perfect also take être in these other tenses and still have feminine/plural agreements
