Second Conditional Grammar Explanation and Practice
Second Conditional: Unreal Possibility
If+subject+past tense verb, subject+would+base verb.
or
Subject+would+base verb...if+subject+past tense verb
If+subject+past tense verb, subject+would+base verb.
or
Subject+would+base verb...if+subject+past tense verb
We use the second conditional in 3 different ways:
1. To say what is impossible or unlikely.
Example: If we had class this week, we would have a BIG party! (This is impossible because the Governor has closed schools until May 1st )
*By using the second conditional, I'm telling the listener that I don't think it's possible.
2. Giving advice
We give advice using the second conditional by saying "If I were you, I would...
This is an unreal condition because I am not you.
Examples: If I were you, I would wash my hands.
If I were you, I would visit Yellowstone National Park.
3. Just for fun!
Use the second conditional to imagine a different future.
Examples: If I had a million dollars, I would hire a chef.
If I could go back in time, I would learn another language as a child.
These are impossible situations, but fun to think about.
*Using Might and Could
Might or could can replace “would” in the second conditional. When these words are used, it can have a slight change of meaning:
- would = impossible or unlikely
- might = unlikely but possible
- could = ability (would be able to)
