Grammar point: The conditional of probability

At B1, you'll learn how to use the conditional of probability in Spanish, known as el condicional de probabilidad or, more specifically, el condicional de conjetura . This grammatical use is very important because it lets you talk about a past fact you did not see and can only guess. Instead of stating what definitely happened, you say what probably happened.
