Second & Third Conditionals
Second dan Third Conditionals digunakan untuk membicarakan situasi yang tidak nyata (unreal). Second Conditional digunakan untuk kondisi yang tidak nyata di masa sekarang atau masa depan. Third Conditional digunakan untuk menyatakan penyesalan atau situasi yang tidak terjadi di masa lalu.
Structure:
| Type | Pattern | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Second Conditional | If + past simple, would + base verb | If I had more time, I would travel more. |
| Third Conditional | If + past perfect, would have + past participle (V3) | If she had studied, she would have passed the test. |
Notes:
- Gunakan Second Conditional untuk situasi imajinatif atau tidak nyata di masa sekarang atau masa depan.
- Gunakan Third Conditional untuk situasi yang tidak terjadi di masa lalu dan biasanya menunjukkan penyesalan.
- Dalam Second Conditional, gunakan past simple setelah 'if', dan 'would' + verb di main clause.
- Dalam Third Conditional, gunakan past perfect setelah 'if', dan 'would have' + V3 di main clause.
- Jangan menggunakan will/would dua kali dalam satu conditional: ❌ If I would know...
- Kata-kata seperti could, might, atau should juga bisa digunakan menggantikan 'would'.
- Comma digunakan jika 'if clause' berada di awal kalimat: If I had seen her, I would have said hello.
Examples:
- If I won the lottery, I would travel the world. (Second)
- If she studied more, she would pass the exam. (Second)
- If I had known about the meeting, I would have attended. (Third)
- If they had left earlier, they would have caught the train. (Third)
- He would buy a car if he had enough money. (Second)
- She would have been happy if you had called her. (Third)
- If we lived in Spain, we would speak Spanish every day. (Second)
