In Spanish, we use the conditional tense (el condicional) to talk about hypothetical situations and possibilities and to make polite requests. There are both regular and irregular conditional forms.
If you want to form the conditional tense with the regular verbs, you need to add the conditional endings to the end of the infinitive as indicated in the Table below.
On the other hand, there are basically three categories for irregular verbs:
a) Verbs where the last vowel in the infinitive is replaced with a <em>d</em>. In this category only <em>er</em> and <em>ir</em> verbs fall. If we want to form the stem of these verbs, we just simply replace the <em>e</em> or <em>i</em> at the end of the infinitive with a <em>d</em>. Then, we add the conditional endings indicated in the Table below.
b) Verbs where the last vowel in the infinitive is removed. In this category only <em>er</em> verbs fall. If we want to form the stem of these verbs, we must remove the vowel from the infinitive ending. Then, we add the conditional endings shown in the Table below.
c) Verbs that are simply irregular. For example, the verbs <em>decir</em> and <em>hacer</em> fall in this category.
In this way, we can solve this exercise:

Q7.
The right answer is A) visitarías

Q8.
The right answer is C) Nosotros siempre diríamos la verdad

The verb hacer is also irregular, so the conjugation in this case is haría
