If you need some clarification regarding the second conditional, we are here to show you how to form it, how you can use it and a lot of examples!
So the speaker talks about things he/she doesn’t think will happen and about the possible results of these situations.
Second conditional contains two parts:
- The hypothetical or unlikely part which begins with if and then subject and the verb in the past simple
- The second part expresses the possible result of this imaginary situation and contains would + infinitive.
If I had a lot of time, I would visit all my relatives on their birthdays
The two parts can be used in any order.
all | totul, toată, toți, toate, toată lumea | singular/plural (după înțeles) All you see here is mine. They are all my brothers. |
another | un altul, încă unul | singular Another one is my friend. |
any | (+) oricare, (-) nici unul, nici unii, (?) vreunul, vreunii, (?-) nici unul, nici una, nici unii, nici unele. | singular/plural (după înțeles) I can’t see any of you here. Is there any food in the fridge? |
anybody | (+) oricine, (-) nimeni, (?) cineva, (?-) nimeni | singular This exercise can’t be solved by anybody. Is anybody there? |
Zero conditional:
We use the zero conditional when we need to talk about things which are always true, something that happens in general.
These facts can be scientific, they are general truths, or things which we consider being true, they can be habits or facts from the real world.
Here if = when, because they are not really conditions, more situations.
Examples:
- When/If I run, my heart beats really fast.
