CONDITIONALS EXPRESSING ARGUMENTS

SUBTITLE
something that is conditional will only happen if
something else happens.
A conditional clause usually begins with 'if' and says what must
happen or exist in order for the information in the main part of
the sentence to be true
Often called the "unreal" conditional because it is used for
present unreal impossible or improbable situations.
This conditional provides an imaginary result for a given
situation. It is very unlikely that the condition will be fulfilled.
Refer to an action in the present that could happen if the present
situation were different.
I don't really expect the situation to change because it is very unlikely.

If you WERE the president of your


country, what would you do?
 This is the grammar structure for Unreal Conditionals

IF SIMPLE WOULD BASE VERB


PAST,

 Examples:

-If I were a politician, I would earn a lot of money


-if I were an English teacher, I would teach English for free
-if I were rich, I would stop working for the rest of my life
 In conditional type 2, we usually use in the if clause "were" instead of "was"
even if the pronoun is I, he, she or it.

NOTE "was" is also a possible form.

Examples: If I was a rich boy, why am I so poor?


If I was a happy boy, why am I so angry?
