Svårighetsgrad

Conditions use si-clauses with important tense and mood patterns.

Si tengo tiempo, iré. Si tuviera tiempo, iría.

If I have time, I will go. If I had time, I would go.

Vanlig fallgrop

Learners often use future after si incorrectly or avoid the imperfect subjunctive.

Same block, different coding

Both languages use this block strongly, but they signal it differently. Focus on form changes, not only meaning.
