El condicional - regular e irregular

El condicional - regular e irregular

(AKA - what we "would" do).

OK, so you've mastered the future tense (well...sort of!). To recap:

• It's how we represent "Will" do something in Spanish.

• We use the WHOLE verb plus a set of endings.

• There are 11 base irregulars that have to be memorized.

• ACCENT MARKS are essential!

The CONDITIONAL tense is almost the same:

• We use one set of endings (to follow).

• It uses the WHOLE infinitive

• The irregulars are - wait for it - THE SAME as the future!

• Accent marks are once again essential.

So what's different about the conditional tense?

Hint: It doesn't mean "will".....

For the conditional tense, it's our way of expressing what we "WOULD" do.

The following slide shows the endings for the conditional tense. Note that it is the same idea as the future - the WHOLE infinitive, plus endings.

**Only this time - the endings are all ía based

REMEMBER: YOUR IRREGULARS ARE THE SAME AS FOR THE FUTURE TENSE:

YES! You've seen this before.... -->

(Probably when you learned about restaurant stuff. "Me gustaría un refresco".)
