U5L2Esp. III Making hypothetical statements
Making hypothetical statements with si(if) clauses If you want to talk about something hypothetical (not true but possible), use the following clauses: Si pudiera...=If I could Si pudieras...=If you could Si fuera...=If I were Si fueras...=If you were Si tuviera...=If I had Si tuvieras... =If you had Si quisiera... =If I wanted Si quisieras... =If you wanted
Making hypothetical statements If I had a million dollars... –Si tuviera un millón de dólares... If I were rich... –Si fuera rica... If I could speak Chinese... –Si pudiera hablar chino...
In a hypothetical situation... What would you do? If you had a million dollars... –Would you buy a car? A house? Use the conditional tense to say what you WOULD DO in the hypothetical situation.
The CONDITIONAL TENSE 1.Start with the INFINITIVE 2. Add the following endings to the infinitive or irregular root ÍA ÍAMOS ÍAS ÍAIS ÍA ÍAN
The Conditional Tense 1.Hablar -- yo 2.Comer -- tú 3.Vivir -- ella 4.Escribir -- nosotros 5.Practicar -- ellos 6.Correr -- Ángel 1.Yo hablaría 2.Comerías 3.Ella viviría 4.Escribiríamos 5.Practicarían 6.Ángel correría
Conditional Irregulars All of these irregular roots are the same as the future tense! Instead of using the infinitive, use the irregular root + endings! 1. Hacer= har- 2. Haber= habr 3. Saber= sabr- 4. Salir= saldr- 5. Poner= pondr- 6. Tener= tendr 7. Valer= valdr- 8. Querer = querr- 9. Poder= podr- 10. Decir= dir- 11. Venir= vendr-
How can we remember these? Harry has six salty peanuts to visit queen Patty during vacation. HacerQuerer HaberPoder SaberDecir SalirVenir Poner Tener Valer
Irregulares: Práctica [Put these above the Memory phrase.] Hacer (yo) Salir (ellos) Tener (nosotros) Haría Saldrían Tendríamos
Práctica: Put it all together. Si…, conditonal. 1.If I had 50 dollars, I would buy a lot of clothes. 2.If I could leave tomorrow, I would go to Mexico. 3.If I were tall, I would play basketball. 4.If you had an A+, you would be happy.
Now... Put the If clauses and the conditional tense together... 1.If I had 50 dollars, I would buy a lot of clothes.1.Si tuviera 50 dólares, compraría mucha ropa. 2. If I could leave tomorrow I would go to Mexico. 2. Si pudiera salir mañana, iría a México. 3. If I were tall, I would play basketball. 3. Si fuera alta, jugaría baloncesto. 4. If you had an A+, you would be happy. 4. Si tuvieras una A+, estarías contento.
