The conditional tense is formed by adding the conditional endings to the infinitive. The endings are the same for -ar, -er and -ir verbs.

Some verbs have an irregular form. The irregular verbs are the same in the conditional tense as they are in the future tense. Here are the most common ones:

decir (to say, to tell) → dir-

hacer (to make, to do) → har-

poder (to be able to) → podr-

poner (to put) → pondr-

querer (to want) → querr-

saber (to know) → sabr-

salir (to leave, to go out) → saldr-

tener (to have) → tendr-

venir (to come) → vendr-

For example:

• Diría que es muy interesante (I would say it is very interesting).
• Mis amigos saldrían todo el tiempo (My friends would go out all the time).
• Juan no vendría a la fiesta (Juan wouldn't come to the party).
