• In this paper, we extend the definition of conditional $G{\text{-}}{\rm{expectation}}$ to a larger space on which the dynamical consistency still holds. We can consistently define, by taking the limit, the conditional $G{\text{-}}{\rm{expectation}}$ for each random variable $X$, which is the downward limit (respectively, upward limit) of a monotone sequence $\{X_{i}\}$ in $L_{G}^{1}(\Omega)$. To accomplish this procedure, some careful analysis is needed. Moreover, we present a suitable definition of stopping times and obtain the optional stopping theorem. We also provide some basic and interesting properties for the extended conditional $G{\text{-}}{\rm{expectation}}$.
