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.

IF CLAUSES / CONDITIONAL CLAUSES (Type 3)

Conditional clauses consist of two sentences. One is a clause that starts with if, which is called as ‘if clause’. The other is called the Main clause. Each sentence has a verb. It is important to know which tenses are to be used in these clauses and they play a big role in determining the meaning of the sentence. Detailed information for the type 3 is given below:

Type	If clause (condition)	Main clause (result)
Type 3	Past perfect If   +   Past perfect continuous         Could have + 3	would Subject +   could    + have + V3 might

FUNCTION :

The conditional sentences indicate us a possible condition and its probable result. It means  that the expected actions depends on a condition. If Clauses – Type 3 is used to express the past and  the impossible situations that can no longer be changed.

EXAMPLE :

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 had studied, I would have passed the exam. (or) I would have passed the exam if I had studied.
• If the museum had been open, we would have seen many different handworks. (or) We would have seen many different handworks if the museum had been open.
• If the child had had breakfast, she would have been active. (or) She would have been active if the child had had breakfast.

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 had the  power, I might have looked after myself.
• If my son could have taken the English course, he could have passed the exam.
• If  she could have gone to Mexico, she would have seen the best friends.

3. In Type 3, one or two of the clauses can be negative

Examples:

• If I had passed my exam, I would not ( wouldn’t ) have been sad.
• If you had not ( hadn’t ) listened to me, you wouldn’t have been successful.
• If she hadn’t fallen off the bicycle, she would have arrived at the school in time.

4. Using Type3 in questions

Examples:

• What would have happen if there hadn’t been any electricity in our lives?
• Would you have helped me if you had had time?
• Wouldn’t you have studied hard if I hadn’t warned you?
• What would you have done if you had had lots of money?

5. Tenses and structures can be used in If Clauses- Type 3 are given below:

a. In If Clause; we can use past perfect tense, past perfect continuous tense and  could + have + V3.

Examples:

• If Jack had known where you were, he would probably have came you.
• If you had been looking around carefully, you would have seen me.
• If they could have developed their bussiness, they would have enlarged their workplaces.

b. In main clause; We can use would + have + V3, could + have + V3 and might + have +V3.

Examples:

• If you had came here a bit early, you would have seen the most famous actor of London.
• If my income had been very much, I could have bought a house with a garden.
• If I had been an educated mother, I might have brought up my children better.

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.
