This is a ppt presentation about the unreal conditionals structure.

1. By Josué Marín

2. something that is conditional will only happen if
something else happens.

3. A conditional clause usually begins with 'if' and says what must
happen or exist in order for the information in the main part of
the sentence to be true

4. Often called the "unreal" conditional because it is used for
unreal impossible or improbable situations.
This conditional provides an imaginary result for a given
situation. It is very unlikely that the condition will be fulfilled.

5. Conditional Sentences Type 2 refer to an action in the present that could
happen if the present situation were different.
I don't really expect the situation to change because it is very unlikely.
If you WERE the president of your
country, what would you do?

6.  This is the grammar structure for Unreal Conditionals
WOULD BASE VERB
 Examples:
IF SIMPLE
PAST,
-If I were a politician, I would earn a lot of money
-if I were an English teacher, I would teach English for free
-if I were rich, I would stop working for the rest of my life

7.  In conditional type 2, we usually use in the if clause "were" instead of "was"
even if the pronoun is I, he, she or it.
NOTE "was" is also a possible form.
Examples: If I was a rich boy, why am I so poor?
If I was a happy boy, why am I so angry?
