 What I Need to Know

Lesson
The Second and Third
2 Conditionals

What’s In

The last module talked about the first two kinds of Conditionals Sentences.
These kinds are the Zero Conditional and the First Conditional. From that session,
you got to know the difference between those two kinds.

To complete the remaining two kinds, this module aims to discuss with you
the Second Conditionals and the Third Conditionals.

Basically, this module contains the things that comprise Second and Third
Conditionals. You will know when to use and how to use these kinds. You will also
identify the correct tense of verbs to be used when using these conditionals.

What’s New

Task 2: Give me an Answer, Please!

DIRECTION: Answer the situations that follow.

Situation A. What would you do if you had a severe headache in the middle of
taking a quarterly exam?

Situation B. If you found a wallet containing IDs and huge amount money on a
street, what would you do?

3
Situation C. What would you do if you found out that your newly-bought cellphone
got lost?

Follow up questions:

1. What have you observe on the construction of the questions above?

_______________________________________________________________________________

2. Do you think they have something to do with conditionals?

_______________________________________________________________________________

What Is It

Yes, that is correct! The questions above contain if- clauses which mean they
are examples of conditional sentences. If you answered the questions in a complete
sentence, you would also obtain conditional sentences. In this part, let us check if
you were able to use the correct tense of the verbs.

https://tinyurl.com/y6ovgqer

A. 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 or in the present
that are probably not going to be true. Simply, it is for expressing
unrealistic or impossible situations.

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.

 Second, we can use it in giving advices or suggestions. Have a look at

the examples:

If I were you, I wouldn't go out with that man.

Annie wouldn’t do the same thing, if she were Ashley. (were is used for I,
he, she in writing 2nd Conditional).

How is this different from the first conditional?

This kind of conditional sentence is different from the first
conditional because this is a lot more unlikely.
For example (second conditional): If I had enough money, I would
buy a house with twenty bedrooms and a swimming pool (I'm
probably not going to have this much money, it's just a dream, not
very real.)

But (first conditional): If I have enough money, I'll buy some

new shoes (It's much more likely that I'll have enough money to buy
some shoes.)

5
B. The Third Conditional
We make the third conditional by using the past perfect after 'if' and
then 'would have' and the past participle in the second part of the sentence:

if + past perfect, ...would + have + past participle

(had+ past participle)

It talks about the past. It's used to describe a situation that didn't
happen, and to imagine the result of this situation. In other words, this kind
of conditional expresses regret.

Examples:

If she had studied, she would have passed the exam. (But, really we know
she didn't study and so she didn't pass.)
If I hadn't eaten so much, I wouldn't have felt sick (but I did eat a lot, and
so I did feel sick and I regretted it).
If we had taken a taxi, we wouldn't have missed the plane.
She wouldn't have been tired if she had gone to bed earlier.
She would have become a teacher if she had gone to university.
He would have been on time for the interview if he had left the house at
nine.

Note: In constructing these conditional sentences, COULD, MIGHT and

other MODALS can also be used aside from WOULD.
