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-…).
Estar is regular here, so it is a good model for other verbs of the same class.
Estar in a sentence
- Estoy cansado hoy.I am tired today.
