Takeaways

• 😀 Conditional sentences express hypothetical situations or things that might or might not happen.
• 😀 Conditional Type 2 is used for expressing unlikely or imaginary situations in the present or future.

How can you identify a Conditional Type 2 sentence in a quiz or test?

A Conditional Type 2 sentence can be identified by its use of the past simple tense in the 'if' clause and 'would' + verb 1 in the main clause. For example: 'If I had a car, I would drive to the beach.'

The probability condition for the Second Conditional is 1-40% because it refers to situations that are unlikely to happen but are still possible in a hypothetical sense.
