mirarían

Mirarían is a conditional form of the Spanish verb "mirar," which means "to look" or "to watch." Specifically, it is the third-person plural conditional form. This means it is used to express what "they" or "you all" (formal) would do or might do under a hypothetical or uncertain circumstance.

The conditional tense in Spanish is often used to talk about future events from a past perspective, to express polite requests, or to describe actions that would happen if a certain condition were met. For example, "Ellos mirarían la película si tuvieran tiempo" translates to "They would watch the movie if they had time." In this sentence, "mirarían" indicates a hypothetical action contingent on the condition of having time.

Another common use is for polite suggestions or inquiries. For instance, "¿Ustedes mirarían esto, por favor?" means "Would you all look at this, please?" The conditional here softens the request, making it more courteous than a direct imperative.

The formation of the conditional tense for regular -ar verbs like "mirar" involves adding the endings -ía, -ías, -ía, -íamos, -íais, -ían to the infinitive. Therefore, for "mirar," the third-person plural form is "mirarían." This structure applies across a wide range of verbs in Spanish, making the conditional a fundamental tense for expressing nuance and hypothetical situations.
