IWhat to watch for

The conditional of encontrar is regular and keeps the o: encontraría, encontrarías, encontraría, encontraríamos, encontraríais, encontrarían.

It imagines what someone would find in another situation (si buscaras con calma, encontrarías lo que necesitas), reports expectations that did not come true (creíamos que encontraríamos entradas) and softens how you feel: me encontraría mejor si durmiera más.
