Grammar Second Conditional What is the second conditional? The second conditional, also sometimes called type two conditionals, is a structure to describe unreal or unlikely events in the future. For example: If I won the lottery, I would give some money to charity. If he went to class more often, he would pass the tests. What is the sentence structure? The second conditional consist of two clauses, an if-clause and a main clause. IF-CLAUSE: If | subject + past tense verb , MAIN CLAUSE: subject + would + main verb + object/complement Put the if-clause and the main clause together, and you have a second conditional sentence. Notice there is a comma between the IF-CLAUSE and MAIN CLAUSE: If Kate won the lottery, she would quit her job. If he went to class more often, he would pass the tests. The clauses may be inverted (MAIN CLAUSE + IF-CLAUSE). There is no comma then. For example: Kate would quit her job if she won the lottery. He would pass the tests if he went to class more often.

Other modals may be used instead of would. In particular, could, might, and should may be used, which adds an element of speculation or possibility to the sentences. If the US attacked Russia, it might be the end of the world. If I quit my job, I could travel around the world. In addition, the simple past of be is always were when using the second conditional. For example: O If I were rich, I would own fifty-two cars. I would drive a different car each week! X If I was rich, I would own fifty-two cars.
