How to translate Condicional to English

Note 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 inflected 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 presentar has regular conjugation in the Condicional tense of the Indicativo mood. It means that this verb follows the basic rules for its conjugation group (-ar) without 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 presentar 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. Check out the image showing all the 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 presentaría:

• yo presentaría – I would present

And one more time add the regular ending -ías for the second person singular to create presentarías:

• tú presentarías – you would present

As before add the regular ending -ía for the third person singular to create presentaría:

• él presentaría – he would present
• ella presentaría – she would present
• usted presentaría – (formal) you would present

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

• nosotros presentaríamos – we would present
• nosotras presentaríamos – (feminine) we would present

And exactly as previously add the regular ending -íais for the second person plural to create presentaríais:

• vosotros presentaríais – (plural) you would present
• vosotras presentaríais – (feminine, plural) you would present

And once more add the regular ending -ían for the third person plural to create presentarían:

• ellos presentarían – they would present
• ellas presentarían – (feminine) they would present
• ustedes presentarían – (formal, plural) you would present

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

yo	presentaría	I would present
