Practice The Conditional Tense
Named for its nature, the conditional, also referred to as the simple conditional, is a grammatical tense designed for conveying hypothetical scenarios, actions, or events contingent upon specific conditions. Frequently employed to convey politeness, formulate requests, or articulate potential outcomes under particular circumstances, the conditional tense is reminiscent of English expressions like 'could have,' 'should have,' or 'would have.' If you encounter thoughts involving these phrases in English, you likely need to employ the conditional tense in Spanish.
