Explicação:

Second Conditional

A second conditional são orações usadas para falar de situações pouco prováveis ou mesmo irreais no futuro.

As sentenças condicionais em inglês são formadas pelo termo if (se)

Exemplo: If I had lots of money, I could travel round the world. (Se eu tivesse muito dinheiro, eu poderia viajar pelo mundo).

Formação

A second conditional é formada por duas sentenças: a If clause e a main clause.

A if clause contém o verbo no simple past (passado simples) e a main clause inclui alguns verbos modais como o would, could, might, should.

If+ simple past + would, could, might, should + infinitivo (sem to)

Exemplos:

If I went to Barcelona, I would visit the Market. (Se eu fosse a Barcelona, eu iria visitar o mercado)

If I didn’t have to work, I would go to the beach today. (Se eu não tivesse que trabalhar, eu iria para a praia hoje)

If I lived in Spain, I would be happy. (Se eu morasse na Espanha, eu seria feliz)

if I were you, I wouldn't do that. (Se eu fosse você, eu não faria isso)

Importante destacar que a if clause também pode surgir no final da sentença:

If clause + main clause:

If I had a million dollars, I would buy a new house. (Se tivesse um milhão de dólares, eu compraria uma nova casa)

Main clause + if clause:

I would buy a new houseif I had a million dollars. (Eu compraria uma casa nova se tivesse um milhão de dólares).

Obs: Os verbos modais podem aparecer na forma contraída em expressões negativas:

Would: would not – wouldn’t

Should: should not – shouldn’t

Could: could not – couldn’t

Third Conditional

A third conditional são sentenças condicionais usadas para falar do passado. Ela faz referência a algo que não ocorreu no passado e, portanto, pode expressar arrependimento.

Todas as orações condicionais em inglês (if clauses) são acompanhadas pelo termo if (se).

Exemplo: If we had saved some money, we would have bought a new phone. (Se nós tivéssemos economizado dinheiro, nós teríamos comprado um telefone novo)

Formação

A third conditional é formada pela if clause e a main clause. A if clause é composta por verbos no past perfect, já a main clause envolve diversos verbos sendo que os mais utilizados são: would have, could have e might have.

Após a main clause, os verbos que surgem aparecem no past participle.

if + past perfect + would have, could have, might have + past participle

Exemplos:

If he had come on Monday, I would have seen him. (Se ele tivesse vindo na segunda, o teria visto)

If she had worked more, she could have saved more money. (Se ela tivesse trabalhando mais, poderia ter economizado mais dinheiro)

If we had studied harder, we might have passed the test. (Se nós tivéssemos estudado mais duro, poderíamos ter passado na prova)

Obs: Nas sentenças negativas, os verbos modais podem aparecer com as contrações:

Would: would not – wouldn’t

Could: could not – couldn’t

Might: might not – mightn’t

Importante destacar que a main clause pode surgir antes da if clause, por exemplo:

I would’ve called him if I’d known him telephone number. (Eu teria ligado pra ele se eu soubesse o número de telefone dele)

Note que a contração do would com o have é: would’ve.
