Keywords

  • Conditional - form of verb used to express what would happen

Common misconception

To form any verb in the conditional, add a conditional ending to the infinitive.

Not all verbs are regular in the conditional and some don't follow this pattern. Some verbs have irregular stems in the conditional, e.g. 'tener' ('tendr-') and 'poder' ('podr-').
