How to translate Condicional to English

Notice that the English phrases provided below next to each conjugation are not direct translations from Spanish to English. They are usually the closest general equivalents. The example differences are:

• In Spanish conjugation, there is the form usted in the third person singular. But this person does not translate to the English third person singular. It translates to the so called formal you and uses the inflected form which is most often represented as he/she/it in English conjugation charts.
• Similar situation happens in the third person plural, where ustedes translates to the English plural formal you but uses the form which corresponds to the they form in English.
• Tenses are used differently in Spanish and English, so the actual translation should always take into account the context and focus on translating the meaning, not just words.
• In both languages each verb may have multiple meanings and not every meaning translates directly to the other language. Here also, the context and focusing on the particular meaning helps to create the most accurate translation.

Step by step instructions

Condicional belongs to the simple tenses group, which means that all of its conjugated forms are one word long. There are also compound (compuesto) tenses in Spanish language, where each conjugated form consists of two words.The verb andar has regular conjugation in the Condicional tense of the Indicativo mood. It means this verb follows the general rules for its group (-ar) without any exceptions or spelling corrections. The basis for this conjugation is the infinitive of this verb, so it’s really simple to create, and only a few exceptions exist.Use the infinitive andar in each person. Next, add to the infinitive the endings specific to each person. In this tense we use the exact same endings in each of the three conjugation groups -ar, -er, -ir. See the image on the side showing all the six endings. Notice the shapes and colors of the letters. It should help you find patterns and make it easier to remember these endings. Add the regular ending -ía for the first person singular to create andaría:

• yo andaría – I would walk

Like previously add the regular ending -ías for the second person singular to create andarías:

• tú andarías – you would walk

Once more add the regular ending -ía for the third person singular to create andaría:

• él andaría – he would walk
• ella andaría – she would walk
• usted andaría – (formal) you would walk

And similarly add the regular ending -íamos for the first person plural to create andaríamos:

• nosotros andaríamos – we would walk
• nosotras andaríamos – (feminine) we would walk

As before add the regular ending -íais for the second person plural to create andaríais:

• vosotros andaríais – (plural) you would walk
• vosotras andaríais – (feminine, plural) you would walk

Similarly add the regular ending -ían for the third person plural to create andarían:

• ellos andarían – they would walk
• ellas andarían – (feminine) they would walk
• ustedes andarían – (formal, plural) you would walk
