Conditional Type 2

What is Conditional Type 2?

Conditional type two is a grammatical structure used to talk about hypothetical situations in the present or future that are unlikely to happen.

When do we use conditional type 2?

Conditional type 2 is used when discussing impossible situations in the present or future or expressing Advice.

What is the form of conditional type 2?

Conditional type 2 is made up of two clauses. The first clause begins with if and is called the IF CLAUSE. The second clause begins with a modal in the past and is called the MAIN CLAUSE.
