Frequently Asked Questions

Is 'sentiría' the 'yo' form or the 'él/ella/usted' form?

It is both! In the Spanish Conditional tense, the form for 'I' (yo) and the form for 'he/she/it/you formal' (él/ella/usted) are identical: 'sentiría'.

What is the difference between 'sentiría' and 'me sentiría'?

'Sentiría' (without 'me') usually means 'I would regret' or 'I would feel (something external, like pain)'. 'Me sentiría' (with 'me') means 'I would feel (an internal state or emotion)', like 'Me sentiría triste' (I would feel sad).
