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-…).
Preguntar is regular here, so it is a good model for other verbs of the same class.
Preguntar in a sentence
- Pregunto por el camino.I ask for directions.
- Le pregunté su nombre.I asked him/her their name.
Use 'preguntar por' to ask about someone/something; don't confuse with 'pedir'.
