  1. Conditional Tense. How to form and use the conditional tense in Spanish.

  2. Conditional Tense Uses. Definition: the conditional tense is in the future. It translates in English as … We would … I would … You would … You would (pl) … He/She would … They would …

  3. Conditional Tense Formation. • To start with, you need an infinitive, i.e. vivir, comer, escuchar .. etc -ía -ías -ía -íamos -íais -ían • Then, you need to add on the endings to the infinitive. The endings are … • These endings work for -er, -ir and also -ar verbs, like the future tense.

  4. Formation, ctd. As with any tense, there are some irregulars, unfortunately. And these are … Querer – querr… Hacer – har… Caber – cabr… Decir – dir… Poner – pondr… Poder – podr… Saber – sabr… Tener – tendr… Salir – saldr… Haber – habr… You just add the endings onto these stems, instead of the infinitive. Venir – vendr…

  5. And, as you should all notice, these are the same verbs that are irregular for the future tense as well, as they all have the same irregular future stem, i.e., the bit you add the ending onto. So, now for some exercises to help everyone understand how to properly form the tense.

  6. Endings ... again Just to remember them for the exercises … -íamos -ías -ían -íais -ía -ía

  7. Exercise 1. How do you say … ? These are all regular verbs. I would speak Hablaría You would listen Escucharías She would eat Comería We would start Comenzaríamos You (pl) would go Iríais They would drink Beberían

  8. Exercise 2. This is the same exercise but with the irregular verbs. We would say Diríamos I would fit Cabría They would know Sabrían You would want Querrías He would be able to Podría You (pl) would go out Saldríais

  9. So, to sum up ... To form the conditional tense ... • You start with an infinitive of the verb. • You then add on the appropriate ending onto the infinitive. • When the verb is irregular, use the future verb stem and then add on the same appropriate ending. Endings ... -ía -ías -ía -íamos -íais -ían

  10. Irregulars ... Hacer – har… Caber – cabr… Querer – querr… Saber – sabr… Decir – dir… Venir – vendr… Poner – pondr… Tener – tendr… Salir – saldr… Haber – habr… Poder – podr…
