Third Conditional

 

A past unreal conditional sentence has two clauses: the if  

clause


  (which states the condition) and the result clause (which 


states the result).

The sentence can begin with either the if clause or the result clause and the meaning is the same.

We use a comma when the if clause comes at the beginning 

ofthe sentence. 

Grammar:

If+ Subject + Past Perfect,

Subject + would/could/might+ have+ past participle

If Amy hadn’t died, he would have examined her.

Subject+would/could/might+have+past participle

If+Subject+Past Perfect

Amy would have taken medicine if her parents had brought her to a doctor.

Second Conditional

Watch the video to see how the second conditional is used in real situations.

We use the second conditional to talk about situations or actions in the present or future, which are not likely to happen or are imaginary, hypothetical or impossible.

A second conditional sentence consists of two clauses, an "if" clause and a main clause: 

IF clause	main clause
If I had a million dollars,	I would buy a big house.

If the "if" clause comes first, a comma is usually used. If the "if" clause comes second, there is no need for a comma:

main clause	IF clause
I would buy a big house	if I had a million dollars.

Sometimes, we use should, could or might instead of would, for example: If I won a million dollars, I could stop working.
