How to translate Condicional to English

Notice that the phrases in English 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 the conjugated forms are one word long. There are also compound (compuesto) tenses in Spanish language, where each conjugated verb form consists of two words.The verb comportar has regular conjugation in the Condicional tense of the Indicativo mood. It means that 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 comportar 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. Analyze the image showing all six endings. Notice both the colors and shapes 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 comportaría:

• yo comportaría – I would involve

And as before add the regular ending -ías for the second person singular to create comportarías:

• tú comportarías – you would involve

And add the regular ending -ía for the third person singular to create comportaría:

• él comportaría – he would involve
• ella comportaría – she would involve
• usted comportaría – (formal) you would involve

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

• nosotros comportaríamos – we would involve
• nosotras comportaríamos – (feminine) we would involve

Also as in the previous case add the regular ending -íais for the second person plural to create comportaríais:

• vosotros comportaríais – (plural) you would involve
• vosotras comportaríais – (feminine, plural) you would involve

Also as in the previous case add the regular ending -ían for the third person plural to create comportarían:

• ellos comportarían – they would involve
• ellas comportarían – (feminine) they would involve
• ustedes comportarían – (formal, plural) you would involve

This is it! The conjugation is now done. The final result looks as follows:

yo	comportaría	I would involve
tú	comportarías	you would involve
él/ella/usted	comportaría	he/she/it would involve
nosotros/nosotras	comportaríamos	we would involve
