The Conditional and the
Conditional of Probability
(El condicional y el condicional de probabilidad)
In Spanish, the conditional of regular verbs is
formed by adding the imperfect endings for -er
and -ir verbs to the infinitive. The same endings
are used for -ar, -er, and -ir verbs.
hablaría
hablar íamos
hablar ías
hablaríais
hablar ía
hablarían
Again, the infinitive is the basis for all forms of regular
verbs.
Notice that all forms carry a written accent over the i.
