Conditional Tense - Spanishdict.com

From Spanishdict.com

The conditional (el condicional ) tense in Spanish is used to express what would happen in the future. It is more of a possibility, or hypothetical situation, than the future tense. The formation is very similar to that of the simple future tense in that one set of endings is added to the infinitive to create a new tense and the irregular stems are the same as those in the future tense.

Compraría esa camisa. I would buy that shirt.

Sacaría la basura por ti. He would take out the trash for you.

Si fuera rico, me gustaría viajar por todo el mundo. If I were rich, I would travel all over the world.

Regular Conditional Forms

To form the conditional tense, simply add the correct ending to the infinitive of the verb. All verb conjugations (-AR, -ER, and -ER) have the same endings for the conditional tense:

Conditional Endings: -ía, -ías, -ía, -íamos, -íais, -ían

Subject	viajar	conocer	escribir
yo	viajaría	conocería	escribiría
tú	viajarías	conocerías	escribirías
usted, él, ella	viajaría	conocería	escribiría
nosotros	viajaríamos	conoceríamos	escribiríamos
vosotros	viajaríais	conoceríais	escribiríais
ustedes, ellos, ellas	viajarían	conocerían	escribirían

The endings for the conditional tense are the same as those for the -er and -ir forms of the imperfect tense.

Remember that the conditional adds the endings to the infinitive while the imperfect adds them to the stem.

• Conditional: Escribiría unas cartas. (I would write some letters.)

• Imperfect: Escribía unas cartas. (I wrote some letters.)

Future in Spanish - Spanishdict.com

From Spanishdict.com

In Spanish, there are two ways to express the future. One is the simple future tense, and the other, more basic form, is the informal future. The informal future is used mostly in spoken Spanish to express future actions.

Simple Future	Future
Estudiaré mucho mañana.	Voy a estudiar mucho mañana.
I will study a lot tomorrow.	I am going to study a lot tomorrow.

Future Forms

The informal future is formed by the verb ir conjugated in the present indicative, the preposition a, and the infinitive of the action to be performed. The loose translation would be that someone is going to ___.

ir + a + infinitive

Yo voy a viajar por España. I am going to travel through Spain.
