UNIT 11 

PART TWO (PAGE 150) 

The second conditional is a structure used to talk about impossible,  imaginary or unlikely situations in the present or future. 

If I won a lot of money, I'd travel the world. 

condition (if clause)---------------------------result(main clause)

PAST TENSE (DISTANCE FROM REALITY)--------------WOULD +VERB (base form)

It is not real, you are  simply imagining, if the result is true the result happens 

PRINCIPAL CHARACTERISTIC

VERB TO BE IN SECOND CONDITIONAL works in this form 

I were   If I were invisible, I would walk into pop concerts for free.

you werIf I were a politician, I would do everything I could to help the people.

he were     If he were a woman, he would have lots of babies

she were   If she were you, she would take a vacation.

it were       It would happen if it were true

we were    If we were you, we study harder

they were  They would give the test again if I were the teacher.

THIRD CONDITIONAL



This is the way we imagine how things could have been different in the past. If something had been different, something else would have happened. Notice that both the condition and the result are impossible now.

we imagine a different past

we are imagining the result of something that did not happen

If Amy’d known, IShe would have worn something nicer.

In this case, Amy didn’t know about the party so she didn’t wear special clothes

Note also that Third Conditional can be contracted.

For example:

  • Full form: If you had got up earlier, you would have caught the earlier train.
  • Contracted form: If you‘d got up earlier, you would‘ve caught the earlier train.  
  •   It is often used to express criticism or regret.

  • For example:

    • If Charlene hadn’t been so careless, she wouldn’t have lost all money. (Criticism)
    • If you hadn’t lied, you wouldn’t have ended up in prison. (Criticism)
    • If you had asked her, she would have helped you. (Regret)
    • If Mark had come on time, he would have met them. (Regret)
    😓 WE CAN NOT CHANGE THE PAST 😭

  • UNIT 10 SECOND PART
USED TO
USED TO + INFINITIVE 


We use this expression to talk about habits or repeated actions in the past which we don't do in the present. We also use it to talk about states in the past which are no longer true. For example:
  • I used to have long hair (but now I have short hair).
  • He used to smoke (but now he doesn't smoke).
  • They used to live in India (but now they live in Germany).
Watch out! With the negative and the question it's 'use' and not 'used':
  • Did you use to be a teacher?
  • Did he use to study French?
  • She didn't use to like chocolate, but she does now.
  • I didn't use to want to have a nice house.
Note! With this 'used to' there is no verb 'be'. We CAN'T say 'I am used to have

We usually use a relative pronoun or adverb to start a defining relative clause: who, which, that, or  where .
  • who/that. We can use who or that to talk about people. ...
  • which/that. We can use which or that to talk about things. ...
Examples:

  • Children who /that hate chocolate are uncommon.
  • An elephant is an animal that lives in hot countries.

  •  I bought a new car that is very fast.
  • I like the woman who lives next door.(If I don't say 'who lives next door', then we don't know which woman I mean).

      Hola Kathe
      La información esta claramente resaltada en amarillo, el segundo condicional expresa una situación imaginaria en el PRESENTE o futuro y el tercer condicional es una situación imaginaria en el PASADO

CONDITIONALS What are conditionals in English grammar? Sometimes we call them  'if clauses' . They describe the result of something that might happen (in the present or future) or might have happened but didn't (in the past) . They are made using different English verb tenses. Conditional sentences  have TWO clauses. 1. C onditional clause: (sometimes called an  if - clause ). The  conditional clause  usually begins with  if   or unless. The  conditional clause can  come before or after the main  clause .   We 'll be late  if we  don't leave now. but if it comes at the beginning the clauses have to be separated by a comma( , ). If we  don't leave now , we'll be late . LET'S BEGING WITH 💛 ZERO CONDITIONAL The first conditional has the  present simple  after 'if', then the  present simple  too  in the main or result clause: if + present simple , -----------  present simple if clause ------------------ result or main clause We use the  zero condi
