Review Summary

  • Past Tense Verb + би

Erros comuns

Do not combine future tense 'буду' with 'би'. Use the past tense base.

Wrong: Я буду хотів би поїхати.
Correto: Я б хотів поїхати.

The 'if' clause (якби) must also use the past tense in Ukrainian.

Wrong: Якби я маю час, я б пішов.
Correto: Якби я мав час, я б пішов.

You only need one 'би' per conditional thought.

Wrong: Я би пішов би.
Correto: Я б пішов.
