Second Conditional​

Second Conditional

We use the second conditional to talk about the consequences of an unreal present action or an improbable future action.

​​

It's divided in:

Condition clause: if + simple past

Result clause: would/wouldn't + verb in the base form

​

Ex: If I studied hard, I would pass in the test.

Second Conditional: Simple Past!

RULES (REGULAR VERBS)

1) We usually add -ed to the verb. (ex: start - started)

​

2) If the verb ends in -e, we add -d. (ex: use - used)

​

3) If a short verb ends in consonant + vowel + consonant, we double the final consonant and -ed. (ex: plan - planned)

​

4) We add -ed to verbs ending in vowel + -y. (ex: play - played)

​

5) If the verb ends in consonant + -y, we change the -y to -i and add -ed. (ex: try - tried)
