Oraciones con el condicional
 
The exercise I just completed gave four statements and required the first person conditional tense of a given verb in the answer. Please check & correct my answers. Thank you!!

Given question: La fregadora de platos no funciona.
My answer: Fregaría los platos a mano.

Given question: El auto no tiene gasolina.
My answer: Iría a la estación de gasolina para comprar gasolina.

Given question: No hay un programa interesante en la tele.
My answer: Alquilaría una película.

Given question: ¡Pablo quema la cena!

If it requires the first person, I would say then it has to have the "yo" in there, because all of the phrases allow for the singular form of the tense regardless of the person.

hola, sé la palabra "gasolinera" ...la estación de gasolina me parece bueno también. ¿Se usan las ambas?

I assume you mean first or third person singular, not second. :)

Well, Perikles, the directions said to write the sentences using first person singular, as in I, Lou Ann, am giving an answer to a statement.

Hernan - beyond including the word "yo", are there any other corrections to my sentences? Surely there must be many..........

Huh? :thinking:

By the way, Hernan - I didn't use that :o because I was "embarrassed", but because I like the expression on his face........ :)

Quizás puedes decir,

Cenaríamos en un restaurante. If Pablo is cooking for you and himself:)

Well, "usted" is second person....

And the directions were specific ... to use the first person singular. What you say makes sense, but I could also imagine that, using the conditional, if Pablo were cooking for himself, and someone said to me "Pablo burned his dinner", I would respond with "(if it were me) I would eat at a restaurant..." ???

None that I could spot. In words and manners of Jack Palance "believe it or not" :wicked:

Segunda persona. Tú, Usted. (You)

Usted is listed with the functional third persons in the verb conjugation charts, but it functions as a second person (the same as ). Someone you address (you) is a second person. A referenced person (he, she) is a third person. Usted is conjugated like a third person, so that is why it is grouped with them in the charts.
