Unreal Conditional

Unreal Conditional

1. Third Conditional

   • It is used to speculate about the possible past results of a past fact or action
   • If + past fact/action + possible past result

2. Second Conditional

   • It is used when there is a need to express a possible future consequence of an unreal (imaginary) conditional. The chances of the action to happen are greatly reduced or even impossible.
   • If + hypothesis + possible consequence
     • If + Simple Past + would/could/should/might + infinitive
   • possible consequence + If + hypothesis
     • would/could/should/might + infinitive + if + Simple Past
