Irregular Forms – Simple Conditional in Spanish

Irregular Forms | Simple Conditional

The Conditional has relatively few irregular verbs. They fall into three categories:

1. Verbs where the last vowel in the infinitive is replaced with a – d
2. Verbs where the last vowel in the infinitive is removed
3. Verbs that are just plain irregular

Verbs Where the last vowel in the Infinitive Is replaced with a -d

Note: Only “-er” and “-ir” verbs fall into this category.

To form the stem of these verbs, simply replace the “e” or  “i”  at the end of the infinitive with a “- d”. Then, add the Conditional endings.
