Conditionals

1. second conditional

   • The second conditional is like the first conditional. We are still thinking about the future. We are thinking about a particular condition in the future, and the result of this condition. But there is not a real possibility that this condition will happen.
     • examples: If I wasn’t watching TV now, I would be playing football
       • third conditional
         • The third conditional is used: To talk about 'impossible' conditions. They are impossible because they happened in the past and we cannot change them. It is formed in the following way: If + past perfect, would have + past participle.
           • Examples: I would have taken a photo if I had brought my camera with me. He would have died if the ambulance hadn't arrived quickly.
         • structure: if + would + have + past participle
   • structure: If + condition + result
