El condicional

¿Cómo se forma el condicional?

The endings are the same for all regular verbs.  Just add them to the infinitive: ​
HABLAR
hablaría 
hablarías 
hablaría 
hablaríamos
hablaríais 
hablarían
COMER 
comería 
comerías 
comería 
comeríamos 
comeríais 
​comerían
VIVIR
viviría 
vivirías 
viviría 
viviríamos 
viviríais 
​vivirían

¿Verbos irregulares?

The same twelve common verbs that are irregular in the future tense are also irregular in the conditional tense. 
Their endings are regular, but their stems change in the same way they change in the future tense. Because the endings are the same as all other conditional tense verbs, only the yo form is shown here: ​

caber         yo cabría        I would fit
poner        yo pondría        I would put
decir         yo diría        I would say
haber       yo habría        I would have [done/been…]
salir          yo saldría        I would have gone out
hacer       yo haría         I would have done/made
poder      yo podría        I would have been able
tener       yo tendría        I would have had
querer     yo querría        I would have wanted
valer        yo valdría        I would have been worth
saber       yo sabría        I would have known
venir       yo vendría        I would have come

¿Cuándo se usa el condicional?

The conditional is used to express probability, possibility, wonder or conjecture.  
​
It is usually translated as would, could, must have or probably.

She said that she would study one more hour. 
Ella dijo que estudiaría una hora más.

What time could it be?
¿Qué hora sería?

He must be at home. 
Estaría en su casa.

I would like to learn Spanish. 
Me gustaría aprender el español. 

One very important usage of the conditional is for softening polite requests: 

¿Por favor, podría decirme a qué hora abre la gasolinera? 
​Please, could you tell me what time the gas station opens?
