CONDITIONAL PRESENT
The conditional mood has two tenses: conditional present and conditional perfect.
It is formed by the "a avea" second form auxiliary + the infinitive of the verb.
Auxiliaries
- Eu: aș
- Tu: ai
- El: ar
- Noi: am
- Voi: ați
- Ei: 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
It is formed of the same auxiliary, + the "fi" auxiliary + 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
EXAMPLE OF USE
Rule
- FIRST PART OF THE PHRASE: THE VERB IN THE SUBJUNCTIVE IMPERFECT.
- SECOND PART OF THE PHRASE: THE VERB IN THE CONDITIONAL TENSE.
