A boy in this picture
presuppose about how if he had a money ? he will buy a car for himself. In this
material i will show you a configuration from the 2nd and 3rd conditional
sentence.
a. Definition:
2nd conditional (also
called conditional type 2) is a structure used for talking about unreal
situations in the present or in the future. This page will explain how the
second conditional is formed, and when to use it. (Contrary-fact)
b. The structure of a second
conditional sentence
• Like
a first conditional, a second conditional sentence consists of two clauses, an
“if” clause and a main clause:
main clause
|
IF clause
|
If I had a million
dollars,
|
I would buy a big
house.
|
If the “if” clause comes first, a comma is usually used. If
the “if” clause comes second, there is no need for a comma:
If
Clause
|
Main
clause
|
I would buy a big house
|
if I had a million dollars
|
If clause
|
Result Clause
|
If + simple past (V2)
|
would + V1
|
*Note: If, there’s a “to be” on the sentence. That’s only “were”
c. Examples
& Using of Conditional Sentences
Example :
|
Explanation:
|
If I were you, I would drive more
carefully in the rain.
|
I am not you — this is unreal.
|
If dogs had wings, they would be able
to fly.
|
Dogs don't have wings — that's
impossible.
|
If I were a doctor, I would check your
health.
|
In the Fact – You’re not a doctor.
|
If I had enough money, I would go to
Seoul.
|
In the Fact – You don’t have any money.
|
If I studied hard, I would pass the
test successfully.
|
In the fact- You don’t study hard, so
you don’t pass it successfully.

2. 3rd Conditional
Sentences
a. Definition
3rd
conditional sentences is an “impossible condition” , meaning it is contraty
to the fact in the past and there is no hope for the
situasion to occur because you were imagining something in the past.
b. The
structure of 3rd Conditional Sentences
Like the other conditionals, a third conditional sentence
consists of two clauses, an “if” clause and a main clause:
If clause
|
if + subject
+ past perfect verb*
|
Main clause
|
subject + would (OR
could, OR might) have + past participle
|
If clause
|
Main clause
|
If I had gone to surabaya
last week,
|
I would have met my
grandparents for the last time.
|
Note
also that third conditional forms can be contracted:
Full form
|
If
I had studied harder, I probably would have passed the exam.
|
Contracted form
|
If
I'd studied harder, I probably would've passed the exam.
|
c. Using the third conditional
The third conditional is used
to talk about things which did not happen in the past. If your native
language does not have a similar construction, you may find this a little
strange, but it can be very useful. It is often used to express criticism or
regret:
Example
|
Explanation
|
If you had driven more carefully, you would not have
had an accident.
|
Criticism: You had an accident because you didn't drive
carefully enough.
|
If we had played a little better, we could have won the
game.
|
Regret: We didn't play well, so we lost the game.
|
If you had saved your money, you could have bought a
computer.
|
Criticism: You didn't save your money, so now you can't afford a
computer.
|
If it had snowed, we could have gone skiing.
|
Regret: It didn't snow, so we couldn't go
