Formation of the Conditional Tense

The Italian conditional tense is formed by adding specific endings to the infinitive stem of the verb:

• For -are verbs: Remove -are and add -erei, -eresti, -erebbe, -eremmo, -ereste, -erebbero
• For -ere and -ire verbs: Add -ei, -esti, -ebbe, -emmo, -este, -ebbero

Irregular verbs follow different patterns, but most maintain these endings.

Usage

The conditional tense in Italian is used to express:

1. Hypothetical situations
2. Polite requests
3. Future actions in the past
4. Uncertainty or doubt
5. Giving advice
