ENGLISH WORKSHEET

SECOND CONDITIONAL

Form
if + Simple Past, main clause with Conditional I (= would + Infinitive)

We can also use could for possibilities and abilities and might for uncertainty.

Example: If I found her address, I would send her an invitation.

The main clause can also be at the beginning of the sentence. In this case, don't use a comma.

Example: I would send her an invitation if I found her address.

Example: If I had a lot of money, I wouldn’t stay here.

Were instead of Was

In IF Clauses Type II, we usually use ‚were‘ – even if the pronoun is I, he, she or it –.

Example: If I were you, I would not do this.

Use
Second Conditional refers to situations in the present. An action could happen if the present situation were
different. I don't really expect the situation to change, however. I just imagine „what would happen if …“

Example: If I found her address, I would send her an invitation.

I would like to send an invitation to a friend. I have looked everywhere for her address, but I cannot find it.
So now I think it is rather unlikely that I will eventually find her address.

Example: If John had the money, he would buy a Ferrari.

I know John very well and I know that he doesn't have much money, but he loves Ferraris. He would like to
own a Ferrari (in his dreams). But I think it is very unlikely that he will have the money to buy one in the
near future.
