itional versus the Third C
The Second Cond
In this month’s grammar fun section we’ll be looking at the difference between “second conditionals” and
“third conditionals”.
Conditionals in general
Conditionals are formed with two clauses: one clause with “if”
and the other clause with a variety of verb forms. We can use
conditionals to talk about probability, cause and effect, or to talk
about hypothetical situations. The choice of conditional depends
entirely on the speaker, and how he or she sees a particular
situation. There are no fixed rules for when you have to use a
conditional. It is important to remember this.
The Third Conditional
We form the third conditional with two clauses:
Clause one (condition): if + had + past participle;
Clause two (result): would + have + past participle.
For example:
a)
If she had taken me home by car, I would have arrived earlier.
b)
If she had given me the bottle, I would have drunk it.
We use this tense to refer to an imaginary situation in the past,
or to think about what might have happened. For example:
a)
I didn’t go to university. However, if I had gone to university,
I would have studied medicine.
b)
I didn’t speak to Jim last night. However, if I had spoken to
Jim, he would have told me the answer.
In spoken English we often use contractions:
Had not
= hadn’t
Would have
= would’ve
They had
= they’d
We would
= we’d
We would have = we’d’ve
So, what’s the difference between the second and third conditional?
Well, as we explained, the second conditional is used to talk about
imaginary situations in the future; and the third conditional is used
to talk about imaginary situations from the past.
The Second Conditional
We form the second conditional with “if” + a past tense clause,
and “would” + an infinitive. For example:
“If you told me what the problem was, I would help you.”
We use the second conditional to talk about imaginary or uncertain
situations in the future. Notice how we use a past tense verb even
though we are talking about an imaginary or impossible future. The
use of the past makes the probability more remote and less likely.
In the “if” clause, it is possible to use “were” in place of “was” for
the first and third person singular. For example:
a)
If I were/was rich, I would live on a Caribbean island.
b)
If she were/was here, she would be able to tell us the answer.
