What is Simple Conditional in Spanish? | Grammar Lessons
ar, er, ir
The Conditional Tense in Spanish is used to talk about hypothetical situations and probabilities and to make polite requests.
The Spanish Conditional Tense is formed much like the Spanish Simple Future Tense. Both regular and irregular verbs use the same set of endings, and any stems that are irregular in the Simple Future are also irregular in the Conditional.
To form the Conditional Tense with regular verbs, simply add the Conditional endings to the end of the infinitive.
