There are two different ways of considering the conditional. One considers the conditional as an another tense of the indicative mood, while the other considers the conditional as a mood itself. Both are currently accepted as valid.
The general idea of the conditional is to describe hypothetical or uncertain events that are contingent on another set of circumstances.
Me comería un trozo más de pastel si no me doliera la barriga.
I would eat another piece of cake if my tummy didn't hurt.
Hablaríamos con el hermano de Pablo si no fuera tan antipático.
We would talk to Pablo's brother if he weren't that rude.
The conditional, as well as the future, is the tense that is easier to conjugate. It is formed with the infinitive of the verb plus the endings ía, ías, ía, íamos, íais, ían.
Note: It's very unusual to find an irregular verb of the first conjugation (-AR) in the conditional
