Conditional Sentence Type 2
Conditional sentence type 2 atau second conditional adalah conditional sentence yang digunakan ketika result / consequence (hasil) dari condition (syarat) tidak memiliki atau hanya sedikit kemungkinan untuk terwujud karena condition-nya tidak mungkin dipenuhi dimasa sekarang (present unreal situation) atau condition-nya sulit untuk dipenuhi di masa depan (unlikely to happen).
Rumus Conditional SentenceType 2
- if + condition, result/consequence
- if + simple past, would/could/might + bare infinitive
atau tanpa menggunakan comma (,):
- result/consequence + if + condition
- would/could/might + bare infinitive + if + simple past
- Negatif if + condition
Rumus: if…not dapat digantikan dengan unless.
Were Menggantikan Was
Pada conditional sentence type 2, were digunakan menggantikan was meskipun subjek yang digunakan merupakan pronoun: she, he, it, maupun kata benda tunggal. Hal ini untuk menunjukkan bahwa pengandaiannya benar-benar hanya berupa khayalan semata karena tidak condition-nya tidak mungkin dipenuhi (present unreal situation).
- if + condition, result/consequence
- if + S + were, would (could/might) + bare infinitive
