Haii....Everyone all meet again on my blog. I will explain about Conditional Type 2 along with an example. Lets see together.   🙋🙋🙋

Definition of Conditional Sentence Type 2

Type 2 conditional sentence  or second conditional is a conditional sentence  that is used when the result / consequence of the condition has no or little chance of being realized because the condition cannot be fulfilled in the present (present unreal situation) or condition it is difficult to happen in the future.

The condition is in the subordinate clause with the subordinate conjunction "if", while the result / consequence is in the main clause .

Function

The type 2 conditional refers to an unlikely or hypothetical condition and its probable result. These sentences are not based on the actual situation. In type 2 conditional sentences, the time is now or any time and the situation is hypothetical.

Examples :

If the weather wasn't so bad, we would go to the park. (But the weather is bad so we can't go.)

If I was the Queen of England, I would give everyone a chicken. (But I am not the Queen.)

If you really loved me, you would buy me a diamond ring.

Examples : 

If I were taller, I would buy this dress.

If I were 20, I would travel the world.

If I were you, I would give up smoking.

If I were a plant, I would love the rain.

In type 2 conditional sentences, you can also use modals in the main clause instead of "would" to express the degree of certainty, permission, or a recommendation about the outcome.

Examples :

We might buy a larger house if we had more money

He could go to the concert if you gave him your ticket.

If he called me, I couldn't hear.

Formulas for Conditional Sentence Type 2

The conditional clause  (if + condition) uses the simple past tense , while the main clause (result) section uses the modal verb  and the bare infinitive (the infinitive without to ).

complex sentence

1. subordinate clause (if + condition) and main clause (result / consequence)

2. if + simple past and would / could / might + bare infinitive

The present conditional tense

The present conditional of any verb is composed of two elements:

would + the infinitive of the main verb, without "to"

• Subject + would + infinitive

He + would + go

They + would + stay

Inverted Word Order on Conditional Sentence Type 2

Inverted word order  means the  verb  appears before the  subject . This condition can occur by removing the word "if" and changing the subject and verb positions . An example is as follows.

Normal

If I (S) were (V) the shopkeeper, I would give you discounts.

(If I were a shop owner, I would have given you a discount.)

Inverted 

Were (V) I (S) the shopkeeper, I would give you discounts.
