Condizionale presente

avere (to have)

		singular			plural
1st person		avrei	I would have		avremmo	we would have
2nd person		avresti	you would have (singular)		avreste	you would have (plural)
3rd person		avrebbe	he/she/it would have		avrebbero	they would have

essere (to be)

		singular			plural
1st person		sarei	I would be		saremmo	we would be
2nd person		saresti	you would be (singular)		sareste	you would be (plural)
3rd person		sarebbe	he/she/it would be		sarebbero	they would be

In all inflections, stress falls on ...re... (avrèi, avrèsti, avrébbe, sarèi, sarésti, etc.). Curiously, the pronounciation of vowel "e" is grave for the inflection of the first singular person, i.e. it has an "open" sound (avrèi; sarèi), while in all other persons it is acute, i.e. "closed" sound (sarésti; avrésti; sarébbe; avrébbe; sarémmo; avrémmo; etc.). However, e is never accented in normal spelling. This topic may be completely disregarded by beginners. Try to become confident with the inflections of these two verbs, since you will need them for the past conditional tense of all the others.

All accents fall again on ...re.... When essere is used as an auxiliary verb, the following past participle is number- and gender-sensitive, requiring masculine or feminine according to the subject of the sentence. This has already been discussed with compound indicative tenses, and will be shown again in detail in the following paragraph.

13.2 CONDITIONAL VERBS OF THE THREE CONJUGATIONS

i-13-3.htmli -13-3.html

The standard inflections of the present conditional tense are similar to the ones of irregular verbs essere and avere: the only difference is that they start with a vowel (-e... for the 1st and 2nd conjugation, -i... for the 3rd), which links to the verb's root.
