When to use the conditional

The conditional (condicional simple) says what would happen, makes polite requests (“¿Podría ayudarme?”) and, with the imperfect subjunctive, builds “if” sentences: “Si tuviera tiempo, viajaría.”

How it is formed

Add ía, ías, ía, íamos, íais, ían to the infinitive. The irregular stems are exactly the same as in the future (tendr-, har-, dir-, podr-…).

Buscar is regular here, so it is a good model for other verbs of the same class.

Buscar in a sentence

  • Busco mis llaves.I'm looking for my keys.
  • Busqué en toda la casa.I looked all over the house.

No preposition before the object; spelling change c→qu before e (busqué).
