Grammar Book Part 2Sancho Flynn
Conditional & IrregularsConditional TenseIrregularsThe conditional is often used to express probability, possibility, and wonder and is usually understood to be would, could, must have or probably. Here is the suffix you would add onto –ar, -er, and –ir verbs:There are 12 irregular verbs in theconditional tense.They are: caber (cabr-), poner (pondr-), decir (dira-) haber (habr-), salir (saldr-), hacer (har-), poder (podr-), tener (tendr-), querer (querr-), valer (valdr-), saber (sabr-), and venir (vendr-).íaíamosíasíaisíaían
