Second Type if Conditional

 Second Type if Conditional


In this blog I will submit an article about :

SECOND TYPE IF CONDITIONAL

In a type 2 conditional sentence, the tense in the "if" clause is the simple past, and the tense in the main clause is the present conditional or the present continuous conditional.

Examples

  • If it rained, you would get wet.
  • You would get wet if it rained.
  • If you went to bed earlier you wouldn't be so tired.
  • You wouldn't be so tired if you went to bed earlier.
  • If she fell, she would hurt herself.
  • She would hurt herself if she fell.

Function

The type 2 conditional refers to an unlikely or hypothetical condition and its probable result. These sentences are not based on the actual situation. In type 2 conditional sentences, the time is now or any time and the situation is hypothetical.

Examples

  • If the weather wasn't so bad, we would go to the park. (But the weather is bad so we can't go.
  • If I was the Queen of England, I would give everyone a chicken. (But I am not the Queen.)
  • If you really loved me, you would buy me a diamond ring
  • If I knew where she lived, I would go and see her.
  • The second conditional uses the past simple after if, then 'would' and the infinitive:


if + past simple, ...would + infinitive

(We can use 'were' instead of 'was' with 'I' and 'he/she/it'. This is mostly done in formal writing).

It has two uses.

First, we can use it to talk about things in the future that are probably not going to be true. Maybe I'm imagining some dream for example.

  • If I won the lottery, I would buy a big house.(I probably won't win the lottery)
  • If I met the Queen of England, I would say hello.
  • She would travel all over the world if she were rich.
  • She would pass the exam if she ever studied.(She never studies, so this won't happen)

Second, we can use it to talk about something in the present which is impossible, because it's not true. Is that clear? Have a look at the examples:

  • 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).
  • If I were you, I wouldn't go out with that man.
  • How is this different from the first conditional?
This kind of conditional sentence is different from the first conditional because this is a lot more unlikely. For example (second conditional): If I had enough money I would buy a house with twenty bedrooms and a swimming pool (I'm probably not going to have this much money, it's just a dream, not very real)

But (first conditional): If I have enough money, I'll buy some new shoes (It's much more likely that I'll have enough money to buy some shoes)

Notes:

1. The sentence can begin with an if clause or a main clause. If the sentence begins with an ‘if clause’, put a comma between the if clause and the main clause.

If + past tense, or could + (,) +  present unreal conditional ( would  or modals )

Present unreal conditional ( would or modals ) + if + past tense, or could

Examples:

  • If I went to Paris, I would see the Eiffel Tower. / I would see the Eiffel Tower if I went to Paris.
  • If you had a n invitation card, you should go to the party. / You should go to the party if you had an invitation card.
  • If we used the time properly, we would finish our project. / we would finish our project if we used the time properly.

2. If you want, we can use modals in both ‘ıf clause’ and ‘main clause’ or you can use modals only in one part.

Examples:

  • If I had enough experience fort he job, the boss could hire him.
  • If I could speak english very well, I would look for a job in foreign companies.
  • If I understood what the teacher said, I could tell you.

3. In ‘If Clauses Type 2’, we usually use ‘were’ which is past form of ‘to be’ instead of ‘was’ although the pronoun is ‘I, he, she or it’.

Examples:

  • If I were you, I wouldn’t marry with him.
  • If she were ill, she couldn’t attend the meeting.
  • If it weren’t snowy, I would go out.

4. In Type 2, one or two of the clauses can be negative

Examples:

  • If I woke up late, I wouldn’t I be aware of what happened.
  • If my mother did not remind me, I would forget my worksheet at home.
  • If she were angry, she wouldn’t not talk to us.

5. Using Type2 in questions

Examples:

  • What would happen if humans disappeared?
  • What would we do firstly if a fire broke out?
  • Would you cry if he left you?
  • What would happen if you didn’t drink water?
  • What would you do if you learned that you had a bad illness?

6. Tenses and structures can be used in If Clauses- Type 2 are given below:

In If Clause; past form of to be, past continuous tense, should, could and had to are also used.

Examples:

  • If you were clever, you would understand what I meant.
  • If she were cooking, I would help her.
  • If he could come here, they would show him something that you would like.
  • If I had to attend to the meeting, I would miss the plane.
  • If she should join us (were to join us), She wouldn’t be bored.

In Main clause; would, would be doing, could, would be able to, might ve would have to are also used.

Examples:

  • If I had one more chance, I would try to find out where I made the mistake.
  • If it weren’t important, I would not be looking for him right now.
  • If I had a good education, I could apply for a job abroad.
  • If he earned lots of money, he would be able to buy a new car.
  • If we had time, we might get the course.
  • If she did not finish the project, she would have to get up early today.

7. Would can be written short as ‘d’. You can always use this abbreviation.

Example:

  • If you lost time, you would ( you’d ) miss the bus.

Youth Pledge Day and National Doctors Day

Hello   !

Welcome back   !


There are many important days in this month that can be celebrated in person and face to face, such as the commemoration of National Doctors Day which falls on October 24 and Youth Pledge Day on October 28. However, the celebration of these two important days must be limited, given the conditions of the Covid-19 pandemic.

National Doctors Day
As part of the front line in dealing with Covid-19 in Indonesia, to coincide with the commemoration of this National Doctor's Day, health workers ask the public to comply with health protocols.
Efforts to overcome COVID-19 in Indonesia also require support from the government in education to ensure the public understands, increasing 3T activities (tracing, testing and treatment), and research funding for the development of COVID-19 therapy so that the mortality rate can decrease.

Youth Pledge Day
Even though it is celebrated in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic, Youth Pledge Day which falls on October 28, 2020 can still be celebrated. This is because the Ministry of Youth and Sports will hold a series of activities to commemorate Youth Pledge Day.
However, the entire series of Youth Pledge Day activities will continue to use health protocols to prevent the spread of the corona virus. Following are the guidelines: 
  1. Celebrating the 92nd Youth Pledge Day from October 1 to 31, 2020 by posting banners, billboards, banners, indoor / outdoor media and social media. 
  2. To make October a youth month containing youth activities that lead to a spirit of unity and awakening. 
  3. Using the logo, theme, and tagline specified by the Ministry of Youth and Sports.

First Type if Conditional

 FIRST TYPE IF CONDITIONAL


The first (1st) conditional is the possible conditional. It is used to talk about possible future events and their likely results.

If this event happens or if this condition exists, this will likely happen.

You can use the the first conditional to talk about predictions, superstitions, future plans, warnings & threats, and offers & suggestions. These are things that are real, so this conditional is also called the future real conditional.

A quick review: There are two parts to a conditional sentence. There is an if-clause (also called the conditional-clause) and a main-clause or result-clause. The if-clause contains the condition (the event or situation that must happen first), and the main-clause, which is the result. The two events are connected. One event or situation is a condition for another event or situation.

FUNCTION :

The type 1 conditional refers to a possible condition and its probable result. These sentences are based on facts, and they are used to make statements about the real world, and about particular situations. We often use such sentences to give warnings. In type 1 conditional sentences, the time is the present or future and the situation is real.

POLA :

if + simple present, simple future “will” / imperative

EXAMPLE :

  • If I meet him, I will introduce myself.
  • I will cook dinner tonight if you clean the house.
  • If you rest, you will feel better.
  • If you set your mind to a goal, you will eventually achieve it.
  • If it rains, I will stay at home.
  • If he gives her chocolate, she will be happy.
  • If it doesn’t rain, we will go to the library.
That's the article about first type if conditional. Thank you for reading my blog, see you ~


Zero Type if Conditional

 CONDITIONAL IF ZERO TYPE

One of the several types of conditional sentences is type 0 (zero), this type is no less important and is no less often used in English communication, so it's quite important for you to learn. In everyday, you will often use this type 0 conditional sentence.

In some sources, type 0 conditional sentences are also referred to as zero conditional, this means the same and only has a difference in pronunciation. However, I will use the conditional  sentence type 0 more often than not the zero conditional.

FUNCTION :

We use the zero conditional when we want to talk about facts or things that are generally true. Scientific facts are often covered by the zero conditional: "When you heat ice, it melts." The zero conditional uses if or when and must be followed by the simple present or imperative.

POLA :

if + simple present, simple present.

EXAMPLE :

  • If we burn paper, it becomes ash.
  • I feel sick if I eat too much.
  • If you don’t brush your teeth, you get cavities.
  • When people smoke cigarettes, their health suffers.

Physical activity is essential to prevent and reduce risks of many diseases and improve physical and mental health. It can even help you live longer—research from the American Journal of Preventative Medicine indicates that regular exercise can add up to five years to your life.
Physical activity also keeps you in shape so you can enjoy leisure activities and safely perform work and home chores. It offers great mental and social benefits as well. The Lancet released a series of studies that attribute positive outcomes to physical activity, including “a sense of purpose and value, a better quality of life, improved sleep, and reduced stress, as well as stronger relationships and social connectedness.”
On the other hand, lack of physical activity is associated with increased risks of healthy problems.

Introduce


   Good morning everyone, my name is Graciella Theresia from class XI IPA 2, we meet again in a new class. New class, new experience. The meaning of my name is "graciella" taken from the word "grace" which means blessing from god, and "theresia" taken from the name "mother theresa". I was born in Riau, 3 January 2005. I live in Jakarta.

   I was one of the students of the 27th High School in Jakarta, now I'm in eleven grade 2. I am fifteen years old.  my hobby is reading novels, drawing and listening to music.

   During the Covid-19 pandemic, I really missed my friends.  even though we can call or video call, but still it feels like something is missing if we don't meet in person.  Are any of you the same as me?

   But all things must have positive and negative sides.  During the Covid-19 pandemic, I was increasingly helping my parents, and getting closer to my family.  I also began to manage my time well.

   Message from me, don't look at things from the negative side, just look at it from the other side then you will find the positive side.

that's all from me, good morning ~
