Lately, our lessons have focused on the various uses of the Italian conditional mood, both past and present. In our last lesson, we went over how and when one uses the conditional in independent clauses; now, to wrap it all up, we will investigate the conditions that necessitate the conditional in the subordinate clause of a two-clause sentence.
In Italian, many types of subordinate clauses require the conditional. We will now list these specific cases below, providing examples to see the conditional in action. Keep an eye out for the underlined words in the examples; these words are linked to the conditional verbs. In other words, they are what trigger the conditional verbs in the subordinate clauses.
