have any doubts. All on board!!!

There are three basic
conditional types:
Type 1: If you live in a beautiful place, you will be happy.
Type 2: If you lived in a beautiful place, you would be
happy.
Type 3: If you had lived in a beautiful place, you would have been
happy.

IMPROBABLE CONDITION
IF CLAUSE:past simple-2nd form of the
verb/verb+ed:
IF I WENT TO SCHOOL
MAIN CLAUSE:would+infinitive:
I WOULD LEARN.
 Using the second conditional
 The second conditional is used
to talk about things which are
improbable or uncertain;
 Romanian:conditional prezent:
as merge
IF I WERE A DOCTOR, I WOULD CHECK THE PATIENTS
IF THEY GRADUATED FROM UNIVERSITY,
THEY WOULD FIND GOOD JOBS
IF HE PLAYED A MUSICAL
INSTRUMENT, HE WOULD BE POPULAR
PAST ,UNREAL ,IMPOSSIBLE CONDITION
*CONDITIONAL SENTENCE:PAST
PERFECT(HAD+3RD VB/VB+ED)
IF I HAD EATEN THE CAKE
•MAIN CLAUSE: WOULD HAVE +3RD VB/VB+ED
•I WOULD HAVE FELT SICK LAST FRIDAY.
 Using the third conditional
 The third conditional is used
to talk about things which are
impossible and did not take
place the way we wanted in
the past(REGRET);
 Romanian:conditional perfect:
as fi mers
IF HE HAD LIVED IN FRANCE,
HE WOULD HAVE BEEN A LAWYER
IF HE HAD FINISHED HIS WORK,
HE WOULD HAVE GONE HOME
IF SHE HAD HAD MORE MONEY,
SHE WOULD HAVE BOUGHT A NEW BICYCLE
For the second conditional, were
replaces was
If I were a rich man,
I would stop working as a clerk.
If I were you,
I would buy the green dress.
If I were to lose my job, I wouldn't be able to pay for my dream car.
Instead of if not, we can use unless.
“ if ” + negative action = “unless” + positive action
Compare:
Your bird will fly away if you don’t close the window.
Your bird will fly away unless you close the window.
The meaning of both sentences is the same, but the action
after ‘unless’ (close) is the opposite of the action after ‘if’
(don’t close).
I have prepared another activity
for you. You just have to match
expressions from A to expressions
from B. Will you accept the
challenge?

1. If I could travel to the moon…
2. If people recycle more…
3. If I believed in fairies…
4. If you didn’t write so many
books…
5. If my father hadn’t read me
so many fantastic stories…

person.
b) I wouldn’t have been so
interested in science fiction.
c) I would travel with my best
friend.
d) You wouldn’t be a popular
person.
e) Pollution won’t be a serious
problem in the future. 32
WELL DONE!

sentences using your own
words?
