Conditional Tense Article

Sorry, I seem to have created a question that did not work due (I assume) to my chosen title- it just links to the reference section.

The question:

Conditional tense

In this article, in the yellow box just under the first table it says:

The endings for the conditional tense are the same as those for the imperfect tense. Remember the conditional adds the endings to the infinitive and the imperfect adds them to the stem.

Although I suspect most people figure this out quite quickly, I am wondering if this would be a little more clear:

The endings for the conditional tense are the same as those for the -er and -ir forms of the imperfect tense. Remember the conditional adds the endings to the infinitive and the imperfect adds them to the stem.

If anyone who has enough points to edit a reference article agrees, please change this for me. If everyone thinks this is redundant or self-evident, just ignore this.

Can you not edit the other question asking that it be deleted or marked duplicate thread? - 0074b507, Dec 21, 2010
I get sent the same place I assume everyone else does, or I would simply go in and change the title to the one I placed on this one- Lesson learned: do not start a title with Reference Article. - Stadt, Dec 21, 2010

Thanks, can you delete my badly titled thread so it doesn't send everyone to the reference section. - Stadt, Dec 21, 2010
no, those threads cannot be altered or deleted, only very recently kevin unknowingly made the same mistake - 00494d19, Dec 21, 2010
Sorry, thanks. - Stadt, Dec 21, 2010

Good observation. I would PM the poster of the article (Paralee, in this case) and point it out to them, rather than having just anyone with sufficient points start to edit the Library articles. By the way, did you post a comment on the article itself, so that readers will note it until it is corrected?

yes, but it is way at the bottom and I am not sure it will be immediately seen. - Stadt, Dec 21, 2010
