Second Conditional

Second Conditional

by Eduarda Alencar

​O que é e quando utilizar o Second Conditional?

​* É o segundo modo condicional das chamadas IF CLAUSES.

​* Utilizado para expressar uma hipótese, ou seja, algo com pequenas chances de acontecer.

​

​Por exemplo: If I won the lottery, I would buy a big house.

​

​O Second Conditional possui duas orações: a IF clause e a oração principal.

​Fórmula: IF + SIMPLE PAST + MODAL VERB

​Observação:

​O verbo TO BE sofre uma variação na Second Conditional.

​No lugar de usar a forma gramatical correta WAS para o pronome I (I was), é utilizada a forma WERE.

​

​Por exemplo: If I were a boy, I would listen more.

​If I were rich, I would buy a fancy car.

​If I were you, I wouldn't do that.

​Isso significa que...

​O Simple Past será utilizado e, com ele, as regras de verbos regulares e a lista de irregulares.

​

​Exemplos:

​

​If he didn't call me, I wouldn't have come back with him.
