The Conditional Tense
The Conditional tense is made up of:
In Spanish, the word ‘would’…
To complement a sentence with conditional, it
can feel like a good idea to use and ‘if’ clause;
something like ‘If I was older, I would rent a
flat’. However, in Spanish this ‘if’ clause will
need Imperfect Subjunctive: ‘Si fuera más
mayor, alquilaría un piso’.
You can find the Imperfect Subjunctive of a
verb looking at the verb’s table.
