Worksheet 4J – Conditional Tense & Practice
Grammar Tip:
We use the conditional tense to express the feeling of future uncertainty. In English,
we use the word would + verb. For example: I would work but I’m too tired. Sentences that use the
conditional followed by an if clause will be avoided here because it requires the use of the subjunctive
tense which we have not learned yet. Most verbs are regular in the conditional tense. To form the
conditional, use the infinitive as the stem and add the conditional ending as shown in the table below.
Instructions:
Study the chart below and memorize how to form the conditional tense. Then practice
using the conditional tense by translating the short sentences below into Spanish. The answers are shown
in the Answer Key at the back of the workbook.
