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 the Spanish language, where each conjugated form consists of two words.The verb vestir has a completely regular conjugation in the Condicional tense of the Indicativo mood. It means this verb simply follows the general rules for its group (-ir) 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 vestir 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. Note the colors and shapes of the letters. It should help you find patterns and make it easier to remember these endings.Also note that in verb groups -er and -ir all six 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 vestiría:
- yo vestiría – I would dress
- tú vestirías – you would dress
- él vestiría – he would dress
- ella vestiría – she would dress
- usted vestiría – (formal) you would dress
- nosotros vestiríamos – we would dress
- nosotras vestiríamos – (feminine) we would dress
- vosotros vestiríais – (plural) you would dress
- vosotras vestiríais – (feminine, plural) you would dress
- ellos vestirían – they would dress
- ellas vestirían – (feminine) they would dress
- ustedes vestirían – (formal, plural) you would dress
That’s it! The conjugation is now done. The final result looks as follows:
yo | vestiría | I would dress |
tú | vestirías | you would dress |
él/ella/usted | vestiría | he/she/it would dress |
nosotros/nosotras | vestiríamos | we would dress |
vosotros/vosotras | vestiríais | you would dress |
ellos/ellas/ustedes | vestirían | they would dress |
