Example Question #1 : Conditional / El Condicional
Which verb best completes this sentence?
Si hubiera hecho el crimen, __________ culpable, pero no lo hice.
estuviera
sería
estaría
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, __________.”
yo compré una casa
yo compro una casa
None of the above would be accurate
yo habría comprado 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).
