The Future Tense translates in English as I will or I´ll do something e.g. Hablaré – I will speak.

 

The Conditional Tense translates in English as I would or could do something e.g. Hablaría – I would/could speak.

 

These two tenses should not be confused   Although both refer to an action in the Future, the Future tense is a definite action and the Conditional tense implies probability.

 

Both tenses are formed in the same way taking the Infinitive of the verb and adding the appropriate endings.  The irregular verbs also follow the same rules.   If a verb is irregular in the Future tense it will also be irregular in the Conditional tense.
