When you reach the advanced levels, Spanish verb conjugation can be a little confusing. The Condicional, Futuro, Subjuntivo Presente and the two Subjuntivo Imperfecto tenses can, at first glance, look alike but they have different meanings and must be used in different contexts.
The more familiar with the pattens you are, the easier your reading and listening comprehension will become.
How many of these common verb infinitives can you match up correctly?
