How do you form the Spanish conditional tense and when do you use it?

The conditional tense is used when talking of a possibility or hypothetical situation, often relating to the future. In Spanish, it tends to be used to express intention or ambition or for a polite request, translated as 'would' in English. You can form the conditional tense using the infinitive of the verb + conditional endings. The endings are the same for all verbs (-ar, -er, -ir):yo -íatú -íasél/ella/Ud -íanosotros/nosotras -íamosvosotros/vosotras -íaisellos/ellas/Uds -íaneg. we would buy a car: infinitive comprar (to buy) + the 'we' (nosotros) conditional ending = compraríamos (un coche)There are also a few verbs which are irregular and do not use the infinitive, but have a different stem. The conditional endings stay the same.eg. decir (to say) = diría, tener (to have) = tendría, etc.After explaining the concept to the student, I would then run through some practical examples of its usage and do so in an engaging way (eg. writing a poem with a set structure ('if you were ... I would be ...') or asking them to explain what their ideal house would be like). In this way, the student would also be using the conditional tense not in isolation but rather within a context and also with more complex structures to boost their proficiency in the language.
