Please go to the following wiki. This wiki belongs to a Spanish III class in Arkansas. The students created several surveys for you to take. Each of these survey use a tense call the conditional. The conditional is used in English to express things that would happen if certain conditions occur.
1. Take part 1 & 2 of a survey. Can you understand the verbs in this tense? Can you describe how to form this tense just by looking at the verbs?
2. Add a reply to this blog post explaining how you form the conditional tense.
3. If someone has already posted how to conjugate this tense, then add a sentence in Spanish using the conditional expressing what you would.... if ....
4. Lastly, could you take this poll created by one of my collegues on Twitter on technology in education.
I couldn't really tell how they made the tenses but i could clearly understand what they were asking probably more then any thing else i have read i think the conjugation had to do something with adding an "is" at the end
ReplyDeleteI could understand the tense. They were saying if you could or if you had. The only two examples (verbs) that they used were -ir verbs (tener and poder). Therefore, by only reading the survey, I could tell that the verb is stem changed to the preterite irregular form if needed and then -ieras was added to the end. For example, Poder was pudieras and Tener was tuvieras. I am guessing that if the verb saber was used it would be supieras.
ReplyDeleteI think change the verb into the preterite form. Leave of the ending. If it as -ar verb add -as. If it -er or -ir, add -ieras. There are irregulars.
ReplyDeleteFor the most part I understood the tense. I saw that you have to have to make the verb preterite, even if it's irregular, and add an -ieras.
ReplyDeleteA sentance would be 'Si estuvieras en un otro pais, donde querrias estar?'
I don't know if that's right, so it's supposed to mean, "If you were in another country, where would you want to be?
I could understand the condtional tense enough to make out what the students were trying to say. I saw that for some verbs they kept the verbs in the infinitive form and added an -ieras. Also for some verbs they conjugated them into the preterite form and then dropped the last letter and added the -ieras.
ReplyDeleteFor Example
1. tener-tuve-tuvieras
2. estar-estuve-estuvieras
I could understand this survey very well. Although I'm not sure on how to form the verbs, I agree with Catherine. For the second verb, you use the infinitive of it and add -ias.
ReplyDeleteMy example: Si pudieras un animal, que poderias?
I messed up on my example. I think it would be: Si pudieras ser un animal, que serias?
ReplyDeleteI could understand this verb tense very well. I think that if it is an -ar verb, you need to add an -as. If it is an -ir or -er verb you add an -erias. But before this, put the verb into the pretrite form.
ReplyDeleteEx: comer-come-comieras.
?Si comieras comida, que comieras?
I couldn't tell exactly how to conjugate this tense but I understood what the questions asked me. I think it has something to do with the preterite tense though.
ReplyDeleteSi pudieras ser una comida, que serias?
The tense was easy to understand because the verbs were ones I recognized. The irregular verbs began with preterite verb beginnings (estuv-, pud-) and then ended with an -ieras. Then, the regular verbs were in the infinitive with an -ias at the end. At least this is what I observed, I could be wrong.
ReplyDeleteFor example, Si tuvieras una vaca, como se llamarias?
Si tu tienes que lees un libro, que libro leyas?
ReplyDeleteI did not know what the tense was but i could easily understand it and answer the questions. It involved taking your verb and adding as at the end to form some wierd you form.
ReplyDeleteSi pudieras hablar con una persona famosa, quien hablarias con?
ReplyDeleteTo use the conditional form, change the verb into the tu preterite form and an -ias ending I think.But there are verbs with irregular stem changes.
ReplyDeleteExample: Si pudieras ser una fruta, que serias?
I understood the questions, but I'm not sure how to conjugate it. I think you use the preterite tense, but at the end add -ieras. some verbs such as estar and ir/ser are irregular and they are like the preterite with the same ending.
ReplyDeleteSi tuvieras una animal, que animal quieres?
I understood the surveys. I think you conjugate it by adding ia ias iamos ian to the end of the verb in its infinitive form. It looks like the irregulars like poder have spell changes like they would in preterite, then add the conditional endings.
ReplyDeleteI think a sentence would be..
Si estuviera en Florida, pudiera estar en la playa.
I was able to understand the questions but am not too sure how to conjugate it, I think it has something to do with the preterite. Si comprieras nada, que compras?
ReplyDeleteThe first verb, or the verb that is saying if this occured, is conjucated to the preterite form of the verb but the ending is left off. The ending instead is ieras. The second verb, or the one that asking you what you would do, is left as the infinitive but with ias attached on the end of it.
ReplyDeleteSi pudieras comer una fresca, que comerias?
When I was doing the survey, I could understand what the questions were asking. To form the conditional tense, the verb is kept in the infinitive but you add -ia, ias, ia iamos or ian to the end of the verb. These endings hold true to ar, er and ir verbs. This wasn't mentioned in any of the questions, but if a verb is irregular, the beginning of the verb is put into the "yo" form and the endings are added.
ReplyDeleteExample:
Si tendrias tres dias vivir, que harias?
I did not pick up on how to conjugate the verb, but i could easily understand what each question was asking.
ReplyDeleteI can understand the surveys, but cannot tell for sure what the conjugation patterns are. It has something to do with adding -ia, -ias, -ia, -iamos, -ian on to the infinitive. There also appeared to be a lot of irregulars used in the survey.
ReplyDeleteExample: Si tuvieras que jugar un deporte, Cual jugarias?
I think you conjugate into yo preterite form but leave the er ir ar endings and but ia ias ia iamos and ian on the end. For example. I would want to live in Florida it would be "quisieria vivir en Florida"
ReplyDeletetake the yo form of the verb and as -ieras to the end....example:
ReplyDeletepoder-pudo-pudieras
Si tu tuvieras que eschucar la musica,que eschuarias?
ReplyDeleteI would the questions quite easy to understand. Since everbody seems to have elaborated on how to form it, here is an exaple:
ReplyDeleteIrías a la playa si vivieras en Florida.
To make the tense, I believe you leave the infinitive but you add ia, ias, ia, iamos or ian to the end of the verb. For example; Si pudieras tener un animal doméstico, que tuvieras?
ReplyDeleteSi querias el frio, vivieras en Alaska.
ReplyDeleteif you like the cold, you live in alaska.
i'm not really sure about forming these, but i see and hear this tense alot in songs and stuff and i found the questions relatively easy to understand enough to answer them.
I could only catch a little of what was being written, and could only recognize a little. All I really know is that you add ias (and the 'i' has an accent) to a verb that ends with er/ir and as to and ar verb.
ReplyDeleteHere is my example:
Quieras vivir en Ireland trabajaras en mi restaurante de mayor mi.
I found it pretty easy to understand what the questions were asking. Since many people have already explained how to conjugate the tense, here is a sentence I came up with:
ReplyDeleteSi tuvieras que jugar un deporte, ¿qué jugarías?
I was able to understand the questions on the survey, but am not really sure how you conjugate them. My example would be: Si querias los deportes, jugarias futbol.
ReplyDeletei think that you take the yo form and then you add ieras to the end. that is what i made of it
ReplyDeleteI do not even understand how I finished up here, however I assumed this put up was once great. I don't understand who you're but certainly you're going to a famous blogger for those who aren't already. Cheers!
ReplyDeleteThis paragraph is truly a nice one it helps new internet users, who are wishing in favor of blogging.
