💡 Grammar Points
Hypothetical Actions
Use 'haríamos' to talk about things 'we' would do, but only if a certain condition (often introduced by 'si' or 'if') were true.
Irregular Conditional Stem
The conditional tense is usually formed by adding endings to the whole infinitive, but 'hacer' is irregular. Instead of 'haceríamos,' the stem shortens to 'har-' (like 'haría,' 'harías,' 'haríamos').
❌ Common Pitfalls
Confusing Conditional and Future
Mistake: "Pensamos que *haremos* un viaje. (When meaning 'We thought we would take a trip')"
Correction: Pensamos que **haríamos** un viaje. (Use conditional when talking about the future from a past point of view, known as 'future in the past'.)
⭐ Usage Tips
Polite Framing
Using 'haríamos' can make a suggestion or a question sound much softer and more polite than using the simple present or future tense.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is 'haríamos' irregular? Where does the 'r' come from?
The verb 'hacer' is one of a small group of verbs that are irregular in the future and conditional tenses. The 'r' in 'haríamos' comes from a very old linguistic pattern in Latin that shortened the infinitive stem before adding the conditional endings. You simply have to memorize that *hacer* (and *decir* and *tener*) use these shortened, irregular stems.
