The Spanish Conditional tense is known as both El condicional and El futuro hipot\u00e9tico (\u201cThe Hypothetical Future\u201d). Unlike the past, future and present tenses, the Spanish Conditional doesn\u2019t always refer to a particular period of time. Its name suggests that it is used when there\u2019s a condition involved, but it also has close connections with the future tense. Verbs in El condicional don\u2019t refer to events that definitely or necessarily have happened or are happening, they refer to hypothetical acts.<\/p>\n<p>There are three conditional tenses\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Let\u00b4s start with the Spanish 1st Conditional: (likely actions in the present or future) Si + presente (indicativo) + presente(indicativo):<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Si hace calor, voy a la playa: If it is hot, I go to the beach<br \/>\n\u2022 Si no tenemos mucho trabajo, vamos al cine: If we don\u00b4t have much work, we go to the cinema<\/p>\n<p>Si + presente (indicativo) + futuro simple(indicativo):<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Si ma\u00f1ana hace calor, ir\u00e9 a la playa: If tomorrow is hot, I will go to the beach<br \/>\n\u2022 Si no tenemos mucho trabajo, iremos al cine: If we don\u00b4t have much work, we will go to the cinema<\/p>\n<p>Si + presente (indicativo) + imperativo:<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Si hace calor, vete a la playa: If it is hot, go to the beach<br \/>\n\u2022 Si no ten\u00e9is mucho trabajo, id al cine: If you don\u00b4t have much work, go to the cinema (you\/group)<\/p>\n<p>Let\u00b4s see now how to construct sentences in Spanish using the Spanish 2nd Conditional<\/p>\n<p>The Spanish 2nd Conditional: (imaginary present\/future actions) Si + imperfecto (subj) + condicional simple:<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Si hiciera calor, ir\u00eda a la playa: If it was hot, I would go to the beach<br \/>\n\u2022 Si no tuvi\u00e9ramos\/tuvi\u00e9semos mucho trabajo, ir\u00edamos al cine: If we didn\u00b4t have much work, we would go to the cinema<\/p>\n<p>And finally we will se the Spanish 3rd Conditional:<\/p>\n<p>The Spanish 3rd Conditional: (imaginary past actions) Si + pret.

I would suggest studying and practicing the three Spanish conditionals in order with lots of practice sentences using a wide variety of verbs. Look out for these types of sentences in books, magazines and articles on the web and slowly but surely try to use them in conversation as well.<\/p>\n<p>Have a great day and see you next time with more Spanish!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a1Hola! \u00bfC\u00f3mo est\u00e1is?
