Feel free to edit this page by adding new words and expressions!
Good learning! :)
CONDITIONAL PRESENT
The conditional is formed very similarly to the future. The conditional mode has two tenses: present and perfect. It is formed by the "a avea" second form auxiliary and the infinitive of the verb.
Auxiliaries
- I: aș
- You: ai
- He: ar
- We: am
- You (plural): ați
- They: ar
Example
- A fugi (to run)
- Eu aș fugi
- Tu ai fugi
- El ar fugi
- Noi am fugi
- Voi ați fugi
- Ei ar fugi
CONDITIONAL PERFECT
This is formed of the same auxiliary, plus the "fi" auxiliary and the past participle of the verb.
Example
- A vrea (to want)
- Eu aș fi vrut
- Tu ai fi vrut
- El ar fi vrut
- Noi am fi vrut
- Voi ați fi vrut
- Ei ar fi vrut
