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)
•
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:
|

pass the test successfully.

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 skiing.
