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-…).

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

  • Me caigo mucho cuando esquío.I fall a lot when I ski.
