Hello -I am studying the use of COULD WOULD AND SHOULD in Spanish


Recommended Posts

Here is what I once thought was correct but now I believe there are substantial errors.

Could someone be kind enough to look it over and make corrections???  Could commenter’s refer to the line numbers to insure no misunderstanding occurs?

Thank you very very much.

Will, would, could, should

1>  I will drive  =

Conduciré

2> I would drive*   

Yo  conduciría

3> I could drive     

Yo  podría conducir

4> I should drive   

Yo  debería conducir

Will have,  would have,  could have,  should have

5> I will have driven   

Habré conducido

6> I would have driven   

Yo habría  conducido

7> I could have driven   

Yo podría conducido

8> I should have driven     

Yo debería conducido

Will be,  would be,  could be,  should be

9> I will be driving       

Estaré  conduciendo

10> I would be driving     

Yo  estaría  conduciendo

11>I could be driving     

Yo  podría  conduciendo

12> I should be driving   

Yo  debería  conduciendo

Thank you again

1. I will drive = Yo conduciré

2. I would drive = Yo conduciría

3. I could drive = Yo podría conducir

4. I should drive = Yo debería conducir

5. I will have driven = Yo lo habré conducido

6. I would have driven = Yo habría conducido

7. I could have driven = Yo podría haber conducido or Yo pude haber conducido

8. I should have driven = Yo debí de haber conducido or you can skip the “de” but it sounds less natural

9. I will be driving = Yo estaré conduciendo

10. I would be driving = Yo estaría conduciendo

11. I could be driving = Yo podría estar conduciendo

12. I should be driving = Yo debería estar conduciendo

Number five sounds kind of weird though, don't like how it sounds with this verb. There are many other better verbs to learn this. Anyways, hope this helps.

What are some verbs that can replace number 5?

I was never good at conjugating verbs. It is one thing that just trips me up over and over again. This is one of my weaknesses with Spanish and French. It takes me a long time to remember what each verb turns into. Thanks for this.
