Conditionals - Wishes - Had Better/Would Rather Note: Type 1 and Type 2 Conditionals refer to the present or the future. The use of Type 2 Conditionals suggests that the situation is less probable, impossible, or imaginary. Compare the examples: 4. a) I! meet Brad Pit. ask him about his next film, (comment mace by a reporter who is going to Hollywood) WW! met Brad Pitt, | would ask for his autograph (comment made by a teenage fan) ) If! win the money, Il buy a new car. (comment ‘made by a contestant on a TV game show) 11 won the money, ! would buy a new car (comment made by a member of the audience) We use if to show that something might happen. We use when to show that something will detinitely happen. e.g, If Steve calls, tell him I'l be back in ten minutes. (Steve might call) When Stove calls, fel him Ill be back in ten mnutes: {itis certain that Steve wif! call.) We can form conditionals by using words/ expressions such as unless (Type 1 Conditionals), providing/provided that, so/as long as, on condition (that), what if, suppose/supposing, otherwise (= it rnot), but for, and, or (else), even if, In case ofiin the event of, etc. 2.9. a) Unless you help mo, | won't finish on time. it you don't help me, ..) b) Fil water the plants providingiprovided (that) I have time this afternoon, (.. if {have tine...) ©) So/as long as you pramise to be back by midnight, you can go to the pary. it you promise ..) d) He agreed to work Saturdays on condition that he was paid overtime (ithe was paid...) 9) I! take Dad's car tomorrow night.” What if he needs it?" (= What will you do it he needs if?) 1) Suppose/Supposing you were fred, what would you 60? (= If you wore fired, ..) ) We'd better leave now. Otherwise we'l miss ‘our tight (itwe don't leave now, we'll miss our ight) 1h) But for your advice, | wouldn't have been able 10 solve my problems. lityou hadn't advised me, ..) |) Do that again and I"! } (it you do that again...) punish you. |) Don't do that again or (eise) 1 punish you. i) Iwouldn't go to the party even if they invited me, 1 In case offi the event of a fire, sound the alarm (it there is a fre, ..) Tetiana Pibybiou, Flo) @ We do not normally use will, would or shoutd in an it-clause. However, we can use will or would atter if to make a polite request or express insistence or Uncertainty (usually with expressions such as / don't know, | doubt, | wonder, etc.) In this case, if means whether. We can also use should after if to talk about something which is possible, but not very likely to happen. e.g. a) If you will wait a minute, Mr Carrington wil be able to see you. (Wil you please wait... pote request) by If you will go on making so much noise. 1 send you out (if you insist on making ... - insistence) ) Ewonder if he'll call me tomorrow. (wonder whether ..- uncertainty) ) H Paul should turn up, tel hin to wait for me, (1 don't really expect Pau to turn up.) ‘@We can use were Instead of was for all persons in the it-clause of Type 2 conditionals, e.g. I Andrew wasiwere taller, he could be a basket bail player We use if | were you ... when we want to give advice. e.g. I were you. | wouldn't travel on my own @ We can omit if and use inversion in Type 1, 2 and 3 Conditionals. This structure is more common in formal English. €.9. a) Should he fail to be re-elected, it would be a {great disappointment for him. Were he more careiul. he would make fewer mistakes.
