Two possible conjugations in Le Conditionnel Passé?
Hello,
when I look into the conjugation tables (from Le Figaro web page)
I see two possible conjugations patterns
for Le Conditionnel Passé
the one I used to
j'aurais dû
tu aurais dû
il aurait dû
nous aurions dû
vous auriez dû
ils auraient dû
And this one
j'eusse dû
tu eusses dû
il eût dû
nous eussions dû
vous eussiez dû
ils eussent dû
Are this forms equivalent?
Regards,
Oleh

Bonjour Oleg !
No, they're not interchangeable, as the second form is used only in very formal writing, and is extremely rare nowadays.
I hope that's helpful!
À bientôt !
