Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if 'daría' means 'I would give' or 'He/She/You would give'?

You must use the context or the subject pronoun. If the pronoun 'Yo' (I) or 'Usted' (You formal) is present, it clarifies the meaning. If the pronoun is missing, look at the rest of the sentence to see who the subject is.

Is 'daría' considered an irregular verb?

Yes, 'dar' is irregular in many tenses (like the Present Indicative 'doy' and the Preterite 'di'). However, the conditional form 'daría' is formed regularly by adding the conditional endings (-ía, -ías, etc.) to the infinitive stem 'dar'.
