Conditional 2

Conditionalul de tip 2 exprima o conditie putin probabila si se refera la o

situatie ipotetica.
In propozitia secundara predicatul sta la timpul trecut simplu, iar in cea
principala avem constructia would + infinitiv.
Exemple:
I would go to the seaside if the weather were fine. - As merge la mare daca vremea ar fi buna.
If he came home, his mother would be very happy. - Daca ar veni acasa, mama lui ar fi foarte
fericita.
I would stay at home if it rained. - As sta acasa daca ar ploua.

Desi forma de trecut simplu a verbului "to be" (a fi) pentru persoana I si persoana a
III-a singular este "was", in cazul conditionalei se foloseste forma "were" la toate
persoanele.
If I were you, I would be more peaceful. - Daca as fi in locul tau, as fi mai linistit.
He would buy this house if he were rich. - El ar cumpara casa aceasta daca ar fi bogat.

In loc de "would", putem avea alte verbe modale, precum "might" sau "could".
If you worked with more gain, you could buy that car. - Daca ai munci cu mai mult castig, ai
putea cumpara acea masina.
He might get in trouble, if he did not pay attention. - Ar putea avea probleme, daca nu ar fi
atent.
