SECOND CONDITIONAL

WHAT IF...?

aNDREA NUNES MARTÍN

hOW TO USE IT

SECOND CONDITIONAL

If + Past Simple (condition) + would + infinitive (result)Example: If I didn't understand the explanation, I would ask my teacher

WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND CONDITIONAL?

Let's check the structure first:

  • FIRST CONDITIONAL:
If + present simple (condition) + will + infinitive (result)
  • SECOND CONDITIONAL:
If + past simple (condition) + would + infinitive (result)

Now let's see when we have to use each one:

  • FIRST CONDITIONAL:
Realistic, probable conditions If I study hard, I will pass my exams
  • SECOND CONDITIONAL:
Imaginary or hypothetical conditions If I had a car, I would go this weekend to the countryside.

Let's imagine!

If I had a million dollars...

Second conditional is used for hypothetical situations. Let's ask crazy questions!

If you won the lottery, what would you do?

It's time to practice!
