The conditional tense in English is translated as "I would speak", etc .
To form this tense, you take the future stem and add the -er / -ir imperfect endings.
| HABLAR | COMER | VIVIR |
| hablaría | comería | viviría |
| hablarías | comerías | vivirías |
| hablaría | comería | viviría |
| hablariamos | comeríamos | viviríamos |
| hablaríais | comeríais | viviríais |
| hablarían | comerían | vivirían |
The three above are regular verbs. Remember a number of Spanish verbs have irregular future stems.
The endings are still the same as regular verbs - only the stem changes. Here is a list of the most common ones:
| INFINITIVE | TRANSLATION | STEM |
