Express “would” with a regular conditional form
The idea
Keep the full regular infinitive rather than removing -ar, -er or -ir.
Step by step
- Keep the full regular infinitive rather than removing -ar, -er or -ir.
- Add -ía for yo or él/ella/usted, -ías for tú, -íamos for nosotros/nosotras or -ían for ellos/ellas/ustedes.
- Preserve the written accent in the ending and read the form in a context expressing what someone would do.
Example
Use the regular conditional of hablar to express what the subject would do: Yo ___.
Answer
hablaría
