The Conditional Tense

To talk about what you should, could, or would do, use the conditional tense.  Like the future tense, the conditional tense is formed by adding endings to the infinitive or the irregular stem.  The same verbs that are irregular in the future tense are irregular in the conditional tense.  The endings for the condtional are:
