    Conditionals type 2 and 3 describe unlikely or imaginary situations. [1] The type 2 conditional uses the simple past tense in the if-clause and the present conditional (would + bare infinitive) in the main clause to talk about unlikely present or future situations. [2] The type 3 conditional uses the past perfect in the if-clause and the present conditional perfect (would have + past participle) to talk about imagined past situations with different present outcomes. [3] It is used to express regrets about past decisions or relief about good outcomes that could have been bad.

    Conditionals type 2 and 3

    DC3 UNIT 10
    Conditionals type 2 and 3 are just about…
    With the Conditional type 2 you imagine a
    situation that is unlikely in the present or in the
    future.

    He doesn’t have the


    money and it’s not
    likely he is going to
    get it right now.
    … I would buy a nice car.
    Can you identify the
    verbs?
    Can you identify the
    tenses we use in the 2nd
    conditional?

    … I would buy a nice car.

    If Simple past Future conditional


    Would + bare inf.
    So, again, what is the structure of the 2nd conditional?

    If Simple past Future conditional


    Would + bare inf.

    If I was/were an astronaut, I
    would go to space.
    If I had a spaceship, I would
    visit the moon.
    With the Conditional type 3 you imagine a
    situation that is different in the past and with a
    different result in the present.

    He did not study enough, so


    his score is not what he
    wanted.
    Can you identify the
    verbs?
    Can you identify the
    tenses we use in the 3rd
    conditional?

    If Past perfect Perfect conditional


    Would + have + past participle
    The 3rd Conditional is used especially in two
    situations:

     Regrets: when we wish something from the past was


    different, maybe we feel bad about a decision we made.

     Relief:when something in the past had a good result but


    you thought it was going to be bad.
    So, again, what is the structure of the 3rd conditional?

    If Past perfect Perfect conditional


    Would + have + past participle

    If I had saved money, I would have


    bought a PS5.
    If I hadn’t eaten so much during
    quarantine, I would have been slim
    today.
    Remember we can also use the conditional type 3 for
    relief:
    If Past perfect Perfect conditional
    Would + have + past participle

    If I had left my keys, I would have


    been locked outside.
    If I hadn’t brought my car, I would
    have waited 1 hour for the bus.
