A

53
Q

The conditional has several uses. To begin, whenever we use the word “would” in English- for example, “She would love to go to the party” - , it’s a sign to employ the conditional tense in Spanish.

A

Secondly, the conditional is also used to describe an action that depends on a condition. For example:

Si tuviera más dinero, iría de compras. (If I had more money, I would go shopping.)

54
Q

Another important use of the conditional is to make polite requests or desires known. For example, saying “I want to leave” is a bit harsher than saying “I would like to leave.”

A

Me gustaría hablar con el jefe. (I would like to speak to the boss)

By using the conditional “would like” instead of the regular “want”, you are more politely requesting to speak to the boss.)

55
Q

The conditional is also used to express speculation about the past.

Después de conducir todo el día, estarían cansados. (After driving all day, they must have been tired.)

A

¿Por qué no fue? Estaría en el trabajo. (Why didn’t she go? She was probably at work.)

56

A

ía

Comería - I would eat

63
Q

The present progressive is formed by combining the verb “to be” with the present participle. (The present participle is merely the “-ing” form of a verb.)

I am studying.
I am studying with María.

A

In English, present progressive can be used to describe what is happening now, or what will happen in the future.

I am studying now.
I am studying with María tonight.

64
Q

In Spanish, the present progressive is only used to describe an action that is in the process of taking place. It is not used for future actions.

A

I am studying now.
(use present progressive)

I am studying with María tonight.
(do not use present progressive)

65
Q

To form the present progressive in Spanish, combine a form of “estar” with the present participle.

A

Estoy hablando.
I am speaking.

Juan está comiendo.
John is eating.

María está escribiendo una carta.
Mary is writing a letter.

66
Q

To form the present participle of regular -ar verbs, add -ando to the stem of the verb.

A

hablar: hablando
(hablar – ar + ando)

trabajar: trabajando
(trabajar – ar + ando)

estudiar: estudiando
(estudiar – ar + ando)

67
Q

To form the present participle of regular -er and -ir verbs, add -iendo to the stem of the verb.

A

comer: comiendo
(comer – er + iendo)

hacer: haciendo
(hacer – er + iendo)

vivir: viviendo
(vivir – ir + iendo)

escribir: escribiendo
(escribir – ir + iendo)

68
Q

To form the present participle of -ir stem changing verbs, change e:i and o:u in the stem, and then add -iendo to the stem of the verb.

A

servir: sirviendo
pedir: pidiendo
decir: diciendo

dormir: durmiendo
morir: muriendo
poder: pudiendo

69
Q

Sometimes when forming the present participle it is necessary to change the spelling of a word so that it agrees with the way it is pronounced. We call this an “orthographic” change. Here are some common examples:

A

caer: cayendo
creer: creyendo
huir: huyendo
ir: yendo
influir: influyendo
oír: oyendo
traer: trayendo
leer: leyendo
seguir: siguiendo

70
Q

The following examples illustrate the rules for forming the present participle.

A

hablar: hablando (-ar)
comer: comiendo (-er)
vivir: viviendo (-ir)
decir: diciendo (e:i)
dormir: durmiendo (o:u)
leer: leyendo (orthographic)
seguir: siguiendo (orthographic)

71
Q

To form the present progressive, simply conjugate the verb estar to agree with the subject of the sentence, and follow it with the present participle.

A

Juan está comiendo pan.
John is eating bread.

María y Carmen están hablando con nosotros.
Mary and Carmen are speaking with us.

72
Q

Remember, only use the present progressive for actions that are “in progress.” Compare the uses of the present indicative with the uses of the present progressive.

A

It is important to remember that you would never use the present progressive to say something like “We are going to Spain this summer.” Use present progressive only for actions that are “in progress.”

73
Q

Haber - to have

(to have done something)

(used for the past)

A

Haber (ah-bvehr) (to have) is used only with compound tenses.

It serves as a helping verb that completes an action; the action is expressed with the past participle.

With the addition of haber, a verb in the past tense becomes more past, a conditional statement can be completed, and a future action can be finished. Haber turns did into had done.

74
Q

To form the past participle in the haber structure…

A

For -ar verbs, drop the -ar of the infinitive form and add -ado.

For -er and -ir verbs, drop the -er or -ir of the infinitive form and add -ido.

75
Q

Only use past participles with the verb ..

For right now

Subjunctive Mood in Spanish

A

While it preserves the same basic moods of doubt etc., the Spanish subjunctive is used for a far wider variety of purposes than the English. The Spanish subjunctive expresses sentiment or wishes, doubt about a future event, or conditionality. All verbs require a specific conjugation in the Spanish subjunctive, whereas only a handful require different conjugations in English.
