Question 1

How exactly is the conditional verb invertiría formed here?

Accepted Answer

For regular verbs in the conditional tense, you keep the full infinitive and add the ending. Here, we take the infinitive invertir and add the third-person singular ending -ía to match El señor. This creates invertiría.

Question 2

Could invertiría also mean I would invest?

Accepted Answer

Yes! In the conditional tense, the yo form and the él/ella/usted forms share the exact same ending. Without El señor at the start of the sentence, invertiría could just as easily mean I would invest, she would invest, or you (formal) would invest. Context or a subject is often needed to clarify.

Question 3

Is en always the preposition used with invertir?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Spanish matches English perfectly here. Just as you invest in something in English, you use invertir en in Spanish to indicate where the money or effort is going.

Question 4

Since club looks like an English word, how is it pronounced and pluralized in Spanish?

Accepted Answer

It is an English loanword that is fully adopted into Spanish. It is pronounced with a Spanish u sound. Because it ends in a consonant, you make it plural by adding -es, resulting in clubes.
