Example Questions
Example Question #1 : Conditional / El Condicional
Which verb best completes this sentence?
Si hubiera hecho el crimen, __________ culpable, pero no lo hice.
sería
estaría
estuviera
none of the other answers
sería
This is a classic conditional haber/ser structure: the right answer is sería; estaría is in the right tense but does not agree with the adjective; estuviera both does not agree with the adjective and is in the wrong tense.
Example Question #1 : Conditional Perfect / El Condicional Perfecto
“Si yo tuviera mucho dinero, __________.”
None of the above would be accurate
yo compré una casa
yo habría comprado una casa
yo compro una casa
yo habría comprado una casa
The statement “If I had a lot of money” requires the use of the conditional mood to complete the sentence. The only option that uses the conditional is “habría comprado” (I would have bought).
Example Question #2 : Conditional Perfect / El Condicional Perfecto
Is something gramatically wrong with this sentence?
Siento como si no hubiera dormido por tres días, estoy muy cansado.
Estoy doesn't agree with the verb cansado.
This sentence is grammatically correct.
Hubiera dormido is in the wrong tense.
Siento is in the wrong tense.
This sentence is grammatically correct.
The sentence above is grammatically correct, and uses a properly constructed conditional perfect subjunctive clause to describe the feeling introduced by the verb, siento.
