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-…).
Leer is regular here, so it is a good model for other verbs of the same class.
Leer in a sentence
- Leo el periódico cada mañana.I read the newspaper every morning.
- Ella leyó la carta en voz alta.She read the letter aloud.
Spelling change i→y in preterite/gerund (leyó, leyendo) due to vowel clash.
