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 its conjugated forms are one word long. There are also compound (compuesto) tenses in Spanish language, where each inflected form consists of two words.The verb encantar has regular conjugation in the Condicional tense of the Indicativo mood. It means this verb follows the general rules for its group (-ar) without spelling corrections or exceptions. 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 encantar 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 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 encantaría:

• yo encantaría – I would love

And add the regular ending -ías for the second person singular to create encantarías:

• tú encantarías – you would love

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

• él encantaría – he would love
• ella encantaría – she would love
• usted encantaría – (formal) you would love

And exactly as previously add the regular ending -íamos for the first person plural to create encantaríamos:

• nosotros encantaríamos – we would love
• nosotras encantaríamos – (feminine) we would love

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

• vosotros encantaríais – (plural) you would love
• vosotras encantaríais – (feminine, plural) you would love

And again add the regular ending -ían for the third person plural to create encantarían:

• ellos encantarían – they would love
• ellas encantarían – (feminine) they would love
• ustedes encantarían – (formal, plural) you would love

That’s it! The conjugation is now complete. The final result looks as follows:

yo	encantaría	I would love
tú	encantarías	you would love
él/ella/usted	encantaría	he/she/it would love
nosotros/nosotras	encantaríamos	we would love
