Uses of the conditional tense

To express speculation about the past: Aquél día correrían más de veinticinco kilómetros. – That day they must have run more than 25 kilometers. Remember: to express speculation about the present the future tense is used. – Ella estaría en el mercado (ahora)

To express the future from the perspective of the past: Yo sabía que abrirían la tienda a las siete. – I knew that they would open the store at seven o'clock.

To express hypothetical actions or events which may or may not occur: Sería interesante estudiar chino. – It would be interesting to study Chinese.

To indicate what would happen were it not for some certain specific circumstance: Yo viajaría pero no tengo dinero. – I would travel but I don't have money.

For polite use to soften requests: Por favor, ¿podría decirme a qué hora abre la gasolinera? – Could you please tell me what time the gas station opens?

To ask for advice: ¿Cuál compraría Ud.? – Which one would you buy?

For reported speech: (if main clause is in the past tense) Juan dijo que terminaría el trabajo. – Juan said that he would finish the work. But if the main clause is in the present, the future is used. – Juan dice que terminará el trabajo. – Juan says that he will finish the work.

To express what would be done in a particular situation: ¿Hablarías inglés en España? – Would you speak English in Spain? No. Hablaría español. – No. I would speak Spanish.

To express an action which is contrary to fact: Si yo tuviera tiempo, iría al cine esta noche. – If I had time, I would go to the movies tonight. Note: This last example uses a verb tense you are not yet familiar with -- the imperfect subjunctive (tuviera). This topic will be covered in depth in a later lesson.

Common phrases which use the conditional: Yo que tú En tu/su lugar En esa situación
