Several common verbs use the same irregular stem in the conditional and the future.
The idea
Add conditional endings to irregular stems: tendr- gives tendría, har- gives haría and vendr- gives vendría.
Examples
- Con más tiempo, saldría a caminar.With more time, I would go out for a walk.
- Sin coche, vendríamos en tren.Without a car, we would come by train.
- Con tiempo, haría una lista.With time, I would make a list.
- En esa situación, diría la verdad.In that situation, I would tell the truth.
- Con más espacio, tendríamos otra mesa.With more space, we would have another table.
- Ellos podrían empezar mañana.They could start tomorrow.

No Spanish device voice is available. You can still read the text.
Watch out
The conditional endings still carry their written accents; do not use the complete infinitive as the stem for these verbs.
