El Truco-Argentina
Conditional Tense In English, you form the conditional by placing would before the main verb. In Spanish the conational is one word. Yo iría Paris. I would go to Paris.
To say what someone would or wouldn’t do, use the conditional tense. All verbs have the same endings: Llevaríaíamos Resolveríasíais Discutiríaían Yo llevaría un paraguas en caso que llueva
Verbs that are irregular in the future tense have the same irregular stem in the conditional. Haber Poder Querer Saber Poner Salir Tener Venir Decir hacer Habr- Podr- Querr- Sabr- Pondr- Saldr- Tendr- Vendr- Dir- Har Ex. 8 & 9 pg 305
Reported speech In English, to report what someone said, you can use the simple past, the past progressive, or the conditional tens. In Spanish, a variety of tenses can be used for reported speech as well. I said that he lived in Peru. I said that he was living in Peru. I said that he would live in Peru.
Use reported speech to relay information about what someone said, without using a direct quote. To report what people said they did, use the preterite. Nico dijo “Fui al teatro.” = Nico dijo que fue al teatro. To report what people were planning to do, use the imperfect. Nico dijo “voy al teatro.” = Nico dijo que iba al teatro. To report what people would do in the future, use the conditional. Nico dijo “Iré al teatro.” = Nico dijo que iría al teatro.
Decir and the subjunctive!!! Remember that if you use decir to express what someone told another person to do, you use the subjunctive for the second verb. Nico te dice que vayas al cine.
Change to reported speech 1. La maestra dijo “yo voy a hablar a Juan.” 2. Los estudiantes dijeron “vimos a Juan ayer.” 3. Nosotros dijimos “sacaremos una buena nota hoy.” 4. Tú dijiste “hay muchos chicos inteligentes en esta escuela.” 5. Usted dijo “voy a pasar lo bien en la fiesta.”
