conditional, highlighting the condition and the
result:

Answer 1

Answer:

Let's study 2nd Conditional sentences!

Firstly we're going to talk about the meaning, when and why you should use the second conditional. Then we're going to look at what it looks like, what words, what tenses, what punctuation are important to help you use the second conditional accurately.

But let's start with number one. We use the second conditional to talk about things in the future that are unlikely or things that are impossible in the present.

So we use it to imagine and to dream that the present situation is different than it really is.

If I had enough money, I would buy a house.

If the present situation was different then I would do that.

If I won the lottery, I'd buy a house.

Now this is an unlikely event in the future right because it's unlikely I'm gonna win the lottery. Possible but unlikely. Before we keep going with the other ways to use the second conditional, let's spend a little bit of time focusing on what it looks like.

Conditional sentences all have an if clause and a main clause which is sometimes also called the result clause because it can only happen if the if clause occurs.

And of course, we can ask second conditional questions too. Hypothetical questions to ask someone to imagine what they would do in a different situation.

What would you do if you quit your job?

If you won a million dollars, would you travel the world?

If you only had one day in Singapore, what would you do?

Now we've been talking about hypothetical situations so far but what are these other uses because we can use the second conditional to give advice and if you think about it, when someone asks you for advice, you usually try to imagine what you would do in their situation and share that with them.

If I were you, I'd talk to my boss before I quit my job.

If I were her, I'd break up with him.

But lastly, you can use the second conditional to give reasons why you can't do something.

Instead of just saying ‘no' we often try and soften our responses by explaining why we can't do something and sometimes you might just want to explain a situation a little more so the second conditional can really help you to do this.

If I had the money, I'd lend it to you.

But it suggests that maybe you want to, that maybe you would if you could.

Now in spoken English, the subject and ‘would', they're usually contracted.

I'd

you'd

she'd

he'd

they'd

we'd

Now it's much easier to say this type of sentence quickly and it helps you to sound a little more relaxed as well.
