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 the conjugated forms are one word long. There are also compound (compuesto) tenses in the Spanish language, where each inflected verb form consists of two words.The verb promover has an entirely regular conjugation in the Condicional tense of the Indicativo mood. It means this verb simply follows the general rules for its group (-er) 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 promover 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 colors and shapes of the letters. It will help you find patterns and make it easier to remember these endings.

Also notice that in verb groups -er and -ir all the endings in both Pretéterito Imperfecto and Condicional tenses are identical. Good tip to remember! The only difference is that the Condicional uses the entire infinitive as the stem. Add the regular ending -ía for the first person singular to create promovería:

• yo promovería – I would bring

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

• tú promoverías – you would bring

And as before add the regular ending -ía for the third person singular to create promovería:

• él promovería – he would bring
• ella promovería – she would bring
• usted promovería – (formal) you would bring

And again add the regular ending -íamos for the first person plural to create promoveríamos:

• nosotros promoveríamos – we would bring
• nosotras promoveríamos – (feminine) we would bring

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

• vosotros promoveríais – (plural) you would bring
• vosotras promoveríais – (feminine, plural) you would bring

One more time add the regular ending -ían for the third person plural to create promoverían:

• ellos promoverían – they would bring
• ellas promoverían – (feminine) they would bring
• ustedes promoverían – (formal, plural) you would bring

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

yo	promovería	I would bring
tú	promoverías	you would bring
él/ella/usted	promovería	he/she/it would bring
nosotros/nosotras	promoveríamos	we would bring
vosotros/vosotras	promoveríais	you would bring
ellos/ellas/ustedes	promoverían	they would bring
