Frequently Asked Questions
Why does 'quedaría' mean both 'I would' and 'he/she/it/you formal would'?
In Spanish, the conditional tense uses the exact same form for 'yo' (I) and 'él/ella/usted' (he/she/it/you formal). You usually rely on the subject pronoun or the context to know who is doing the action.
Is 'quedaría' used for polite requests, like 'I would like'?
Yes, the conditional tense is perfect for politeness. While 'quedaría' itself means 'would remain' or 'would look,' the tense is fundamental for being polite, such as when you say 'Me gustaría' (I would like).
