Visitaría mi abuelo, además se ponía enfermera. - I would of visited my grandfather, however I became sick

How would I say '' I was supposed to visit my grandfather'' ? Is it the same as I wrote above or?

Llegará en las doce - She will probably arrive at 12 0'clock

No sé si Juan viene, sino estará allí. - I don't know if Juan is coming, however he is probably there.

Sería siempre así? - Is it always like this? (I thought I'd use the conditional in this sentence as I'm expressing wonder.)

Hablaría con Juan, además no le me gusta. - I would probably speak to Juan, however I don't like him.

full marks for a difficult question. I have to go to bed after my effort to answer. - annierats, May 9, 2013
Actually, you have said you became a nurse, not sick, lol. Anyway, well tried, it's more subjunctive than futuuer, I fear. - annierats, May 9, 2013
Oh that's right. It's ernferma and not enfermera haha Do you have any good explanation on how to use the Futuro? - vengamujer, May 9, 2013

I would have visited my grandfather, however I became sick.

Si no me hubiera puesto enferma visitaría a mi abuelo-- or, perhaps: tenía la intención de visitar a mi abuelo pero me puse enferma.. or: habría visitado a mi abuelo si no me hubiera puesto enferma.

I was supposed to visit my grandfather.. Debía haber visitado a mi abuelo.

She will probably arrive at 12 0'clock... Probablemente llegue a las doce.

I don't know if Juan is coming, however he is probably there... No sé si Juan viene, pero creo que ya está. or>> No sé si Juán viene , pero creo que ya habrá llegado.

Is it always like this...¿ Siempre así? ( strangley, you can do away with the verb, although you can have a verb, if you want to..)

I would probably speak to Juan, however I don't like him.... Hubieria sido posible hablar con Juán ni obstante que no él no me gusta .. or Es poco probable que hablaría ( hable??) con Juan como es que él no me gusta. ( I'm not very sure about this one. Nor is Juan. The English version is not straighforward: I would have spoken to Juan, if it were not for the fact I dislike him, is easier. )
