Conditional Tense - irregular verbs (drop last e of the infinitive)
The conditional tense is similar to the future tense - only twelve verbs are irregular. They are easy to remember because these twelve werbs are the same verbs that are irregular in the future tense.
Five irregular verbs drop the last e of the infinitive. One example is the verb saber (to know):
saber (example sentences)(full conjugation)
| yo | sabría |
(I) |
| tú | sabrías |
(you) |
| Ud./él/ella | sabría |
(you/he/she) |
| nosotros (as) | sabríamos |
(we) |
| vosotros (as) | sabríais |
(you guys) |
| Uds./ellos/ ellas | sabrían |
(you all/they) |
The verbs haber, poder, querer, and caber follow the same pattern.
