02/ Conjugation of auxiliaries in conditional.

As regarding conditional, there are two conditionals : the present conditional and the past conditional. To conjugate conditional tenses in English we use "would, should". In French, there are some endings that we add to the verbs. We'll understand this when we are going to conjugate French group of verbs. But, by now, let's deal auxiliaries.
