How to Tell the Difference Between the Conditional and the Future in Spanish

1

Line up which tense you wish to use: the Conditional or the Future and set up your separate endings for each accordingly.
2

For the Future: take its infinitive form and attach to it, for the most part unless the verb is irregular, and add the endings: -e', -a's,
-a', -emos, -a'n. HABLAR becomes: hablare', hablara's, etc.,but the irregualr verb TENER becomes: tendre', tendra's, etc.,noting that the endings are the same, but the stem will change with irregulars.Its translation of the verb form is "will" or "shall".
3

For the Conditional: like the future take its infitive form as a stem and instead add the endings: -i'a, -i'as, -i'a, -i'amos, -i'an and its translation is "would". For the the English: I would be rich if I had a million dollars, the "I would be" becomes: Seri'a rico,etc.

Keep the two tenses separate and you will take a quantum leap into two very valuable things to say in Spanish instead of relying on the present tense for everything. Spanish speakers will know in a heart beat that you cared enough to find out the diffence.
