Урок на тему "Second conditional"

Second Conditional (второе условное наклонение) используется тогда, когда мы говорим о том, чтобы мы хотели сделать в настоящем или будущем времени, но выполнение этого на данный момент невозможно. Чаще всего ситуация, о которой говорится — нереальна.

Пример:

Если бы у меня было 10 миллионов, я бы купил остров. — If I had 10 million dollars I would buy an island.

Десяти миллионов на данный момент у нас нет и остров купить мы не можем, поэтому используем второе условное наклонение.

Образование

Second Conditional образуется при помощи if + Past Simple, а во второй части предложения употребляется would + глагол в инфинитиве.

If + Past Simple -------- would + verb

Примеры:

If I was you I would continue this a business. — Если бы я был тобой, я бы продолжил это дело.

She would go there if she had a car. — Она бы туда поехала, если бы у неё была машина.

We would not be late for the concert, if you gathered quickly. — Мы бы не опоздали на концерт, если бы ты быстро собралась.
