That\u2019s because the endings for the conditional tense is actually the same as the imperfect tense:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:100%\">\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><em>Yo <\/em>                         <strong>-\u00eda<\/strong><\/li><li><em>T\u00fa        <\/em>                  <strong>-\u00edas<\/strong><\/li><li><em>\u00c9l\/ella\/usted<\/em>          <strong>-\u00eda<\/strong><\/li><li><em>Nosotros\/a             <\/em><strong>-\u00edamos<\/strong><\/li><li><em>Vosotros\/as<\/em>            <strong>-\u00edais<\/strong><\/li><li><em>Ellos\/ellas\/ustedes <\/em><strong>-\u00edan<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>You might be thinking- if the conditional tense has the same endings as the imperfect, how would you know the difference? The answer is simple- <strong>for the conditional tense, you attach the ending to the end of <a href=\"https:\/\/owl.purdue.edu\/owl\/general_writing\/mechanics\/gerunds_participles_and_infinitives\/infinitives.html#:~:text=An%20infinitive%20is%20a%20verbal,or%20a%20state%20of%20being.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the infinitive<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, if I want to say \u201cI would cook\u201d, I would take the verb <em>cocinar <\/em>and add the ending for the \u2013<em>yo <\/em>form in the conditional tense.

Many verbs are simply the infinitive +conditional tense ending. However, there are some verbs that have an irregular stem in this form. If you\u2019ve already learned the future tense, these stems will look familiar- they\u2019re the same!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of the most common irregular verbs and their stems for the conditional are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Tener<\/strong>\u2013 <em>tendr<\/em>     *to have<\/li><li><strong>Poner<\/strong>\u2013 <em>pondr<\/em>    *to put\/place<\/li><li><strong>Valer<\/strong>\u2013 <em>valdr<\/em>       *to value<\/li><li><strong>Salir<\/strong>\u2013 <em>saldr<\/em>        *to leave<\/li><li><strong>Venir<\/strong>\u2013 <em>vendr<\/em>      *to come<\/li><li><strong>Poder<\/strong>\u2013 <em>podr<\/em>       *to be able to<\/li><li><strong>Haber<\/strong>\u2013 <em>habr<\/em>      *to have<\/li><li><strong>Caber<\/strong>\u2013 <em>cabr<\/em>       *to fit<\/li><li><strong>Querer<\/strong>\u2013 <em>querr<\/em>    *to want<\/li><li><strong>Saber<\/strong>\u2013 <em>sabr<\/em>       *to know<\/li><li><strong>Hacer<\/strong>\u2013 <em>har<\/em>        *to do\/make<\/li><li><strong>Decir<\/strong>\u2013 <em>dir<\/em>          *to say<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Hopefully these tips helped you understand this tense a bit more.
