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 llevar has a completely regular conjugation in the Condicional tense of the Indicativo mood. It means that this verb simply follows the general rules for its conjugation group (-ar) without any exceptions, spelling corrections and the like. 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 llevar 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 llevaría:

• yo llevaría – I would carry

And once more add the regular ending -ías for the second person singular to create llevarías:

• tú llevarías – you would carry

And exactly as previously add the regular ending -ía for the third person singular to create llevaría:

• él llevaría – he would carry
• ella llevaría – she would carry
• usted llevaría – (formal) you would carry

Also as in the previous case add the regular ending -íamos for the first person plural to create llevaríamos:

• nosotros llevaríamos – we would carry
• nosotras llevaríamos – (feminine) we would carry

And add the regular ending -íais for the second person plural to create llevaríais:

• vosotros llevaríais – (plural) you would carry
• vosotras llevaríais – (feminine, plural) you would carry

Like previously add the regular ending -ían for the third person plural to create llevarían:

• ellos llevarían – they would carry
• ellas llevarían – (feminine) they would carry
• ustedes llevarían – (formal, plural) you would carry

That’s it! The conjugation is now finished. Put together, the conjugation chart looks like this:

yo	llevaría	I would carry
tú	llevarías	you would carry
él/ella/usted	llevaría	he/she/it would carry
