Please be patient

Our volunteers look into many questions every day; sometimes it takes them a little while to answer.

Pro tip: you can rename the thread title with `.tr <thread name>`

Make it descriptive, including relevant context, but also to the point. This way you improve your chances of getting a more relevant and specific answer.

The conditional present describes a hypothetical situation, something that could happen – but didn't – were something else happened. The imperfect describes an event without a clear start/end that has duration.

As for the verb endings, since that can trip people up:

The endings are the same but the stems are different.
The conditional present stems are the same as the simple future stems, that is the infinitive, plus the endings; there are about twenty irregular stems: acquérir (acquerr-), aller (ir-), avoir (aur-), courir (courr-), devoir (devr-), envoyer (enverr-), être (ser-), faire (fer-), falloir (faudr-), pleuvoir (pleuvr-), pouvoir (pourr-), savoir (saur-), valoir (vaudr-), venir (viendr-), voir (verr-), vouloir (voudr-).
The imperfect stem is derived from the first person plural present conjugation without its ending like (nous rendons -> rend- -> je rendais, tu rendais, il rendait, etc); the only irregular stem is « être » since its imperfect stem is « ét- » even though it's first person plural present conjugation is « nous sommes ».
