TheConditional Tense(pg 119 del texto) • Used to express what “would” happen. • Used to make polite requests.
The -AR, -ER, and –IR regular verbs take the same endings! So in order to form the conditional tense, you take the infinitive and add the following endings:
I would go tomorrow. = Yoiríamañana. 1.Carlos would take out the trash. = ________________________________ 2.We would be comfortable on the beach! = _________________________________ 3.Would you prefer to pay in cash (efectivo)? ____________________________________
* The compounds of the irregular verbs are also irregular: • contener = contendría (I would contain, from “tener.”) • satisfacer = satisfarían (They would satisfy, from “hacer.”) • When making polite requests, you can use the conditional tense: • ¿Me podría traer un café? = Would you please bring me a coffee, sir? • ¿Me pasaríaseselibro? = Would you pass me that book? • ALSO: • I would love to go to the dance with you. = Me encantaría ir al baile contigo. • I would like to volunteer. = Me gustaría trabajar como voluntario. • Juliana would like to donate clothes. =A Juliana le gustaría donar ropa.
The conditional can come after various past tenses of decir: • Dije • Decía + que asistiría • Había dicho • (I said / I had said that I would attend) • *Just as the future tense is used for probability (might happen) the conditional can be used to mean “could have, must have.”
