شرطی نوع دوم

Hey!

In this video we’re gonna learn about

the second conditional!

Second conditional is used in situations

or actions in the present or future

which are not likely to happen

or are imaginary

hypothetical or impossible.

Let’s see some examples:

Hey Sam

What would you do if you had a million dollars?

I would get married and have seven kids!

Not more not less!

What would you do?

If I had a million dollars

I’d make it rain baby yeah!

Yeah!

It is very unlikely

that they will ever have a million dollars.

However

in that unlikely condition

they would do those weird stuff.

Urgh

I can’t believe I’m still watching this.

If I wasn’t watching this boring movie

I would be out shopping!

But I have to know what happens to the guy!

She’s watching a movie

but she’s imagining an alternative activity

she would be doing if she wasn’t watching that.

I think I should be upfront

and tell him exactly how I feel.

I mean

we’re adults, right?

Why would you do that?

If I were you, I would tell him

I’m fine

and then stare dramatically into the distance

and deep-sigh until he guesses.

We often use the structure

“if I were you….”

to give advice.

It’s hypothetical.

I would be very grateful if you helped me

with this essay.

We can use the second conditional

to make a polite request.

This is the basic structure

of the second conditional:

If + past verb, would + verb.

Other modal verbs can be used in place of would.

If I had more money

I could buy a car.

If I won the lottery

I might give half the money to charity.

What would you do if you had a million dollars?

Tell us in the comments!

See ya!
