The document discusses the second conditional, which is used to talk about unlikely or imaginary situations in the present or future. It is formed with "if" plus the past simple or past continuous for the conditional clause, followed by "would/could/might" plus the present infinitive for the main clause. Examples are given showing how the second conditional expresses things that are contrary to present facts and unlikely to happen, such as winning the lottery, having time to learn a language, or having the best grades to get a scholarship.

This document provides a summary of conditionals and ways to express unreality in English grammar. It begins by distinguishing between real conditionals, which refer to likely or possible future events, and unreal conditionals, which refer to unlikely, untrue or impossible situations. It then examines the different verb tenses and structures used to form present, past and future real and unreal conditionals. The document also discusses using "wish" to express present and past regrets, as well as "if only" to convey wishes. Examples are provided throughout to illustrate the grammar points. Practice exercises at the end invite the reader to apply what they've learned by forming conditional statements based on pictures.
Used to be used to
The document discusses the use of "used to" and "would" when referring to past habitual actions or states. It explains that "used to" is used for repeated actions or states in the past that are no longer true, like "I used to play with dolls" or "We used to go out a lot in the summer." In contrast, "would" can also refer to past habits but does not imply they are no longer done. The document also discusses how verbs like "get," "grow," and "become" can be used before "used to" to talk about becoming accustomed to something.

Las condicionales
This document describes three types of conditional sentences in Spanish. Type 0 conditional sentences refer to general truths or facts using the simple present. Type 1 conditional sentences use the present tense in the if-clause and will/can/may/must + verb in the main clause to refer to probable future events. Type 2 conditional sentences use the past tense in the if-clause and would/could/might + verb in the main clause to refer to unlikely or imaginary situations. Type 3 conditional sentences use the past perfect tense in the if-clause and would/could/might + have + past participle in the main clause to refer to unreal past situations. Examples are provided for each type of conditional sentence.

There are four types of conditional sentences: zero conditional for facts, first conditional for probable future events, second conditional for unlikely events, and third conditional for hypothetical past events. Mixed conditionals combine elements of different conditionals. Alternative constructions include "unless", "otherwise", and "wish/if only".
