accepterais, aimerais, auriez pas demanderaient, dirait, ferais, hésiterais, irais, pourrait, refuserais, resterions, serait

Question 1. Si j'avais envie de le faire, je le ________. (FAIRE)
Answer: ferais
In simple words: The sentence follows the structure "Si + imparfait, conditionnel présent". With the subject "je", the verb "faire" in the conditional present is "ferais".

Exam Tip: Remember that "si" clauses with the imperfect tense ("j'avais") are always followed by the present conditional tense in the main clause.

Question 2. Si tu avais le temps et l'argent, où est-ce que tu ________ ? (ALLER)
Answer: irais
In simple words: With the subject "tu", the conditional form of "aller" is "irais".

Exam Tip: Pay attention to irregular stem forms in the conditional, such as "aller" becoming "ir-".

Question 3. Si nous étions malades, nous ________ chez nous. (RESTER)
Answer: resterions
In simple words: For the subject "nous", the conditional ending is "-ions", giving "resterions".

Exam Tip: Regular verbs in the conditional take the future stem followed by imperfect endings (-ais, -ais, -ait, -ions, -iez, -aient).

Question 4. Si vous regardiez ça avec attention, vous n'________ de problème avec ces exercices. (NE PAS AVOIR)
Answer: auriez pas
In simple words: With the subject "vous", the verb "avoir" in the conditional is "auriez", placed between the negation "n'" and "pas".

Exam Tip: With reflexive or negated verbs in compound structures, place "ne" before the verb and "pas" immediately after the auxiliary.

Question 5. S'ils connaissaient ma situation personnelle, ils ne me ________ pas ça. (DEMANDER)
Answer: demanderaient
In simple words: For the plural subject "ils", the conditional ending is "-aient", resulting in "demanderaient".

Exam Tip: Notice the elision in "S'ils" before the vowel "i".

Question 6. Si nous prenions le train au lieu de la voiture, le voyage ________ beaucoup moins cher. (ÊTRE)
Answer: serait
In simple words: The subject "le voyage" is singular third person (il), so the conditional of "être" is "serait".

Exam Tip: Always identify the true grammatical subject of the clause (here, "le voyage" corresponds to "il").

Question 7. S'il ne voulait pas venir, il nous le ________, n'est-ce pas ? (DIRE)
Answer: dirait
In simple words: For the subject "il", the conditional of "dire" is "dirait".

Exam Tip: The verb "dire" has the regular conditional stem "dir-".

Question 8. Si elle t'invitait, est-ce que tu ________ son invitation ? (ACCEPTER)
Answer: accepterais
In simple words: With the subject "tu", the conditional form of "accepter" is "accepterais".

Question 9. Si on t'offrait ce boulot, tu ne ________ pas, j'espère ! (REFUSER)
Answer: refuserais
In simple words: With "tu", the conditional form of "refuser" is "refuserais".

Exam Tip: "On" takes the verb conjugation of "il/elle", but here the question specifically addresses "tu" in the main clause.

Question 10. Si je pouvais, j'________ travailler comme secrétaire de direction. (AIMER)
Answer: aimerais
In simple words: With the subject "je", "aimer" becomes "aimerais" with an elision (j'aimerais).

Exam Tip: Remember to drop the 'e' of "je" before a vowel.

Question 11. Elle croit que si elle avait de l'argent, elle ________ tout acheter ! (POUVOIR)
Answer: pourrait
In simple words: With the subject "elle", the conditional of "pouvoir" is "pourrait".

Exam Tip: "Pouvoir" has the irregular conditional stem "pourr-".

Question 12. Si j'étais à ta place, je n'________ pas une seconde. (HÉSITER)
Answer: hésiterais
In simple words: With the subject "je", the conditional of "hésiter" is "hésiterais".

Exam Tip: The phrase "Si j'étais à ta place" is a very common conditional structure used to give advice or express hypothetical situations.
