La telenovela. Traduce. Usa el vocabulario util.

My neighbor Lidia is probably (futurę of probability ) a good person, but she is a bit unusual. Every morning, Lidia reads the newspaper. Today Lidia will open the front door, she will pick up the newspaper, and she will read her favorite section: “Showtime.” She will read a title like “Table for Two,” and she will want to tell me about the movie. And she will come with her coffee cup to my kitchen, and she will describe the last chapter of her favorite soap opera: “The Tamed Shrew.” She will bring a list of the possible finał scenes: Will The Shrew (that is the name of the main character!) marry Leonardo? Will Leonardo buy a diamond ring? Will they have a sensational wedding? Will they live in an exotic place? Or will there be a totally unexpected and surprising finale? Here comes Lidia now. I will wear my earplugs, and I will smile happily while she speaks.

The Conditional \lood

The futurę and the conditional are used to indicate different circumstances at a futurę time. The formation of the futurę and the conditional are similar. Both use the infinitive, including the endings -ar, -er, or -ir, as the base of each conjugation. In addition, the same verbs have the same irregular stems in the futurę and the conditional.

First, let us look at the forms of the conditional, called the condicional or potencial in Spanish. The conditional is formed by attaching the following endings to the infinitive.

sacar (to take out)		perder (to lose)		servir (to serve)
sacarla	sacarlamos	perderla	perderlamos	servirla	servirlamos
sacarlas	sacarlais	perderlas	perderlais	servirlas	servirlais
sacarla	sacarlan	perderla	perderlan	servirla	servirlan
