conditional+clauses+type+II


 * STRUCTURE **


 * = //** IF **//** CLAUSE (condition) ** ||= ** MAIN CLAUSE (result) ** ||
 * = ** past simple ** ||= ** //would// + base form ** ||
 * If it **rained** today, || I **would stay** at home. ||
 * If Mary **didn't arrive** on time, || I **would go** to the cinema with Jane ||

**WERE:** in conditional sentences type II, //were// is also used with //I, he, she// and //it.// //Example:// If I **were** you, I wouldn't buy that shirt. It's too expensive.

// Example // : Unless Mary arrived on time, I would go to the cinema with Jane.
 * UNLESS: ** it can be used instead of "if // ". It means " // if not // ". //

//Example:// If it rained today, I might stay at home.
 * COULD / MIGHT ** can be used instead of "//would//".

** USE: **
We use the second conditional when the condition is **unlikely** to happen.
