Spanish Conditional Two Verbs Spanish Verb Conjugation

Spanish mini-course

Hola. Just like with all other sections in the course so far, with “Would” verbs, when there are two verbs, the first one is conjugated and the second one is left in its infinitive form. In other words, it’s not conjugated.

I would be going to eat Iría a comer
She would hope to study tonight Esperaría estudiar esta noche
She would want to eat it. Querría comerlo
Juan you would know how to swim but... Juan sabría nadar pero…
We would not (or wouldn’t ) need to do it. No necesitaríamos hacerlo
They would have to eat it. Tendrían que comerlo.
I would not (wouldn’t) be able to finish it. No podrían  terminarlo.
He would prefer to go alone. Preferiría ir solo.

Now moving on, just like you’ve learned with other verb tenses, for “Would” verbs with “gustar”, if the item after it is singular or plural, you have to change “gustar”. For example, for singular items, or if you had a 2nd verb after, you would use “gustará” and for plural items, you would use “gustarán”.

Let’s take a look at a few examples

Singular or Verb After Plural
I would like to read tomorrow Me gustaría leer I would like tacos next month. Me gustarían los tacos el próximo mes
María would like to swim next year María le gustaría nadar el año que viene María would like these cookies A María le gustarían estas galletas
We would like the car Nos gustaría el carro We would like those cars Nos gustarían esos carros
They would like to run later Les gustaría corer luego They would like these French fries Les gustarían estas papas fritas
