TYPE 2 – Present Unreal Conditional

The second conditional uses the simple past after if, then would and the infinitive:
If + Simple past……would + infinitive
It has two uses:
A. We use it to talk about things in the future that are probably not going to be true.
Examples:
a. If I had enough money, I would buy a house with twenty bedrooms and a swimming pool.
(I’m probably not going to have much money, it’s just a dream, not very real.)
b. She would pass the examination if she ever studied.
(She never studies, so this won’t happen.)
B. We use it to talk about something in the present which is impossible, but because it’s not true.
Examples:
a. If I had his number, I would call him.
(I don’t have his number now, so it’s impossible for me to call him.)
b. If I were you, I wouldn’t go out with that man. (but I’m not you,)

TYPE 3- Past Unreal Conditional

We make the third conditional by using the past perfect after if, then would have and the past participle
in the second part of the sentence:
If + past perfect…..would + have + past participle
It talks about the past. It is used to describe a situation that didn’t happen, and to imagine the result of this
situation.
Examples:
a. If she had studied, she would have passed the examination.
(But, really we know she didn’t study and so she didn’t pass.)
b. If I had eaten so much, I wouldn’t have felt sick. (But I did eat a lot, and so I did feel sick.)
