Example Question #1 : Conditional Clauses In Spanish

Fill in the blanks

Si yo __________ tú, yo __________ a mi tía. 

Possible Answers:

fuera . . . visito

fueras . . . visitaría

soy . . . visito

fuera . . . visitaría

sea . . . visitaré

Correct answer:

fuera . . . visitaría

Explanation:

Translated, this answer means, "If I were you, I would visit my aunt." Since this is a statement contrary to fact, the past subjunctive is needed. The correct past subjunctive in the 1st person singular of ser is "fuera." The correct tense in the next clause of the sentence is the conditional, which is "visitaría."
