Its conditional forms are formed by adding the appropriate endings to the infinitive: yo empeoraría, tú empeorarías, él/ella/usted empeoraría, nosotros empeoraríamos, vosotros empeoraríais, ellos empeorarían. The present tense forms are empeoro, empeoras, empeora, empeoramos, empeoráis, empeoran. The imperfect subjunctive forms include empeorara (or empeorase).
