1. Inverted conditionals

   • first conditional
     • If he remembers his own name, we’ll be able to help him.
     • To invert this: Replace “if” with “should.” Replace the verb with the bare infinitive. (e.g. “goes” →” go,” “has” → “have,” am/is/are → “be”)
   • second conditional
     • Inverted Second Conditional for Unlikely Future Events
       • If he pushed the button, we’d all have problems.
         • To invert this: Replace “if” with “were.” Change the verb to the infinitive form (with “to”).
     • Inverted Second Conditional for Unreal Present States
       • If I was ridiculously rich, I think I’d still work.
         • To invert this: Remove “if.” Invert subject and verb. (“I was” → “was I”) If necessary, change “was” to “were.”
   • third conditional
     • If we’d arrived sooner, we wouldn’t have missed the beginning.
       • To invert this: Delete “if.” Invert the subject and the auxiliary. (“we had” → “had we”)
