2. Spanish conditionals are used to talk
about hypothetical things—things that
could be, could have been or would have
happened.
Think of the entire conditional tense as
the English equivalent of “could’ve,
should’ve, would’ve.”
For example:
If I had a remote job, I would travel the
world
You shouldn’t go out tonight

4. In Spanish, there are two conditional
tenses, simple conditional and conditional
perfect.
The simple conditional is what most people
mean when they say the “conditional” tense.
It typically applies to things that could happen now or
in the future. For example:
Yo viajaría a Japón.
¿Podrías ayudarme?
(I would travel to Japan.)
(Could you help me?)
5. Then we have the conditional
perfect, which is used to say “would
have.” Here are some examples of
the conditional perfect:
I would have arrived in Chile at
8 if my flight wasn’t delayed.
They would have come with us,
but their mom wouldn’t let
them.
Ellos habrían venido con nosotros, pero
su mamá no los permitió.
Yo habría llegado a Chile a las 8 si
mi vuelo no se hubiera retrasado.
