HEY!

LET´S BEGIN

Read the next definition and take notes in your notebook if you need it.

The Second Conditional


The second conditional uses the past simple after if, then 'would' and the infinitive:

• if + past simple, ...would + infinitive

(We can use 'were' instead of 'was' with 'I' and 'he/she/it'. This is mostly done in formal
writing).

✓ It has two uses.

First, we can use it to talk about things in the future that are probably not going
to be true. Maybe I'm imagining some dream for example.

• If I won the lottery, I would buy a big house.(I probably won't win the lottery)
• If I met the Queen of England, I would say hello.
• She would travel all over the world if she were rich.
• She would pass the exam if she ever studied.(She never studies, so this
won't happen)

Second, we can use it to talk about something in the present which is


impossible, because it's not true. Is that clear? Have a look at the examples:

• If I had his number, I would call him. (I don't have his number now, so it's
impossible for me to call him).
• If I were you, I wouldn't go out with that man.

ACCESS SECOND YEAR 2019-2020
What’s your favorite TV show and why?

Transcript

Man: So, did you see the final episode last night?

Woman: Of course! As if I would miss that!

Man: And?

Woman: It was by far the best episode, definitely.

Man: Yeah, totally. The dragon at the end and all the special effects in that
final scene were

amazing.

Woman: I loved that part! But I still don’t think this series was as good as the
others.

Man: Really? But you said you wouldn’t want to miss it?

Woman: I know, but still … it’s a lot more predictable than it used to be.

Man: But that’s because the story has been told so well that all the
characters are reaching

their destiny now.

Woman: I don’t know … before, anyone could die at any time, so it was
exciting! But, this

series, no key characters died, and we all knew they wouldn’t. When Jaime
fell in the water

after the dragon attacked him, we knew he would make it somehow. And
… oh, surprise, Bronn

jumps in and saves him.

Man: They did kill some characters in this series, though. What was that
one’s name …?

Woman: Exactly, see! You can’t even remember who died!


ACCESS SECOND YEAR 2019-2020
Man: Hmm. The only thing I didn’t like about this series was that it was
shorter than the others.

Seven episodes instead of ten. Maybe they spent all their money on that
dragon!

Woman: Right! I don’t understand why they did it, as all the fans would
happily watch ten

episodes.

Man: I reckon that now they’re not using the story in the books anymore,
they don’t have as

many ideas.

Woman: That would explain why they’re not being as brave with the story
too. It’s more like a

Hollywood film than a TV show now.

Man: So, is Tyrion still your favorite character?

Woman: You know … surprisingly, I think my favorite might be Cersei.

Man: What?!

Woman: She’s so interesting! All the awful things she’s done and the way
she’s just aiming for

revenge, even though it won’t make her happy. She still surprises us
because we’re expecting

her to have a happy ending where she sees her mistakes and becomes a
good person. But

she never does, no matter what it costs her. She’s unpredictable because
we just can’t believe

anyone would be like her.

Man: I guess. You don’t have to like a character for them to be your
favorite!
