How to Form Sentences in the Conditional Mood[edit | edit source]
When forming sentences in the conditional mood, the subject and object of the sentence must be specified. The subject is the person or thing that is performing the action, while the object is the person or thing that is receiving the action.
For example, if you wanted to say "I will help you", the subject is "I" and the object is "you". To form this sentence in the conditional mood, you would say λλ λνν λμμ€κ².
