Verbes réciproques
In English actions that involve two or more people doing something for eachother are
reciprocal actions. These mutual actions can be seen in the expressions each other
and one another.
Sean and Lori like each other. Randy and Madison help one another with their
homework.
If the meaning is clear enough, you don’t have to say each other. In the sentence
below, who will speak to whom is obvious, so you could leave out to each other.
Let’s talk (to each other) on the phone tonight.
Because the reciprocity of action verbs takes place between several people or things,
these verbs are necessarily plural.
In French reciprocal verbs use some of the same pronouns as reflexive verbs: se,
nous, and vous. These pronouns are plural and generally mean each other.
Nous nous aimons. We love each other. Il se sont rencontrés hier. They met each
other yesterday.
In the passé composé, reciprocal verbs take the helping verb être. When a verb takes
a direct object (COD), the past participle agrees with the pronoun.
Ex: Elles se sont vues à la gare.
When a verb takes an indirect object (COI), the past participle does not agree with
the pronoun. Some verbs that take indirect objects are conseiller, demander, dire,
écrire, offrir, parler, plaire, and téléphoner.
EX: Elles se sont téléphoné hier. Nous nous sommes parlé la semaine dernière.
CONDITIONNEL PASSÉ
In English the past conditional consists of would plus the past infinitive (have+ past
participle). It serves to express missed opportunities and hypothetical situations.
He told me that he would have liked to come to the party. In your place, I would
have done the same thing.
The past conditional is often found in hypothetical sentences with if. When if is
followed by the past perfect, the conditional past is used in the other clause that

states the result.
If I had had the time, I would have done my homework. Would you have stayed at
home if it had rained yesterday?
In French the pastconditional consists of the conditional of the helping verb (avoir
or être) and the past participle of the main verb. The past conditional is used to talk
about conditions in the past that could have taken place in the past, but did not.
Ex: Tu aurais pu m’aider!
The past conditional is also used to state the result in a hypothetical situation taking
place in the past. The plus-que-parfait (past perfect) is used in the si clause, and the
past conditional is used in the result clause.
Ex: Si nous avions vu les Renaud, nous leur aurions parlé.
J’aurais finis mes devoirs si j’avais eu le temps.
Ils se seraient réconciliés s’ils s’étaient parlé.
N’oubliez pas de lire les p.144 et 145 sur le nouveau code de la famille au Maroc et sur
les habitudes des jeunes Français lorsqu’ils sortent avec leur copine (copain).
