SECOND CONDITIONAL
(UNREAL CONDITIONAL)
How and when to use the second conditional
SECOND CONDITIONAL/ UNREAL
CONDITIONAL
• We use the second conditional to talk about possible outcomes
to an unlikely or impossible situation. Theses situations are
hypothetical or dreams.
For example
• If I won the lottery, I would buy a house on a tropical island.
What are the chances that I win the lottery?
• If I had a superpower, I would teleport.
What is the likelihood that I ever have this superpower?
SECOND CONDITIONAL/UNREAL
CONDITIONAL
• If I had more time, I would travel more.
In reality, do I have more time?
• If she had a bigger house, she would let me stay with
her.
• Does she have a bigger house?
WHY DO WE USE THE SECOND
CONDITIONAL?
Hypothesizing: If I lived near a train station, I wouldn’t need
a car.
Advice: If I had your experience, I would apply for the job.
Opinion: If he studied more, he would get better grades.
Excuse: If I had more time, I would do the homework.
STRUCTURE

form)

time?
If I didn’t have to work, I

If I won the lottery, I would …
If I had more time, I would…
PRACTICE
EXCEPTION
• Verb to Be (ONLY in the second conditional), we use WERE for all
persons.
• If I were
• If you were
• If he/she/it were
• If we were
• If they were
EXAMPLES
• If I were you, I would talk to my manager. (This is less
direct.)
• If he were my friend, I would tell him.
• If they were here, they would need winter coats.

• What would you do if you were in Canada now?
• What would you do if you were the President of your
country?
