CONDITIONALS
The Second (2nd) Conditional
 We use the second conditional to talk about
situations that are unlikely or unreal. It can refer to
the present or future.
 Gerçekçi ya da gerçek olmayan durumlardan
bahsetmek için kullanılır. Şimdiki zamandan ya da
gelecekten bahsedebilir.
 E.G. If I had a lot of money, I would visit the USA.
Form of Second Conditional
(Yapısı)
 A second conditional sentence has two parts:
 The if clause describes the imaginary or event.
We usually use if + past simple verb (V2).
e.g. If all cars used vegetable oil, they wouldn’t produce so much CO2.
 The main clause gives the possible result.
We use would / wouldn’t + V1.
e.g. If all cars used vegetable oil, they wouldn’t produce so much CO2.
