Conditional if type 2

Hello welcome back with me, i'm Lutfi and i will explain you about conditional if type two

Conditional Sentences Type 2

Type 2 Conditional Sentences - These types of sentences indicate situations that are unlikely to happen right now due to the fact that they don't work out as we expected.  The sentence structure is shown below.

1. Form

In a Type 2 conditional sentence, the tense in the ‘if’ clause is the simple past, and the tense in the main clause is the present conditional:

‘IF’ CLAUSE MAIN CLAUSE

If + simple past

If it rained

If you went to bed earlier Present conditional

you would get wet

you wouldn’t be so tired.

Present conditional, form

The present conditional of any verb is composed of two parts – the modal auxiliary would + the infinitive of the main verb (without ‘to’.)

Subject   + would  + infinitive

without to

She would learn

Affirmative

I would go

Negative

I wouldn’t ask

Interrogative

Would she come?

Interrogative negative

Wouldn’t they accept?

Would: Contractions of would

In spoken English, would is contracted to ‘d.

I’d -----> We’d

you’d-----> you’d

he’d, she’d----> they’d

The negative contraction = wouldn’t.

Example: to accept, Present conditional

Affirmative : I would accept

Negative : I wouldn’t accept

Interrogative : Would I accept?

2. Function

In these sentences, the time is now or any time, and the situation is unreal. They are not based on fact, and they refer to an unlikely or hypothetical condition and its probable result. The use of the past tense after ‘if’ indicates unreality. We can nearly always add a phrase starting with “but”, that expresses the real situation:

If the weather wasn’t so bad, we would go to the park (…but it is bad, so we can’t go)

If I was the Queen of England, I would give everyone £100. (...but I’m not, so I won’t)

Examples of use:

To make a statement about something that is not real at present, but is possible:

I would visit her if I had time. (= I haven’t got time but I might have some time)

To make a statement about a situation that is not real now and never could be real:

If I were you, I’d give up smoking (but I could never be you)

Example type 2

●You wouldn’t need to read this if you understood English grammar.

●Would he go to the concert if I gave him a ticket?

●They wouldn’t invite her if they didn’t like her

●We would be able to buy a larger house if we had more money

●If I owned a zoo, I might let people interact with the animals more.

●If I were you, I would continue my study.

●If I had time, I would go with you.

●If she met her mother, she would be very happy.

●If it rained tomorrow, I would sleep all day.

NOTE: It is correct, and very common, to say “If I were” instead of “If I was“.
