Unreal Conditional

Unreal Conditional

1. Sentences in the "unreal" conditional have one part of the sentence that begins with the word "if" and contains a verb in what looks like the past tense (Review past tense) and another part of the sentence which contains the modal verb "would."

   • Structure
     • IF + CLAUSE (CONDITION) + MAIN + CLAUSE (RESULT)
       • Example
         • If i have got a gold medal, i would have been happy
         • If you eat that, you would be sick
