Irregular Forms | Simple Conditional
The Conditional has relatively few irregular verbs. They fall into three categories:
- Verbs where the last vowel in the infinitive is replaced with a – d
- Verbs where the last vowel in the infinitive is removed
- 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.
