SECOND CONDITIONAL III. Second Conditional If past simple

SECOND CONDITIONAL
III. Second Conditional
If
past simple,
future in the past.
Would + bezokolicznik
Zdania warunkowe odnoszące się do teraźniejszości; jest to typowe „gdybanie”. Mówimy o
tym, co mogłoby mieć miejsce, gdyby jakaś hipotetyczna sytuacja miała miejsce. Warunek jest
niemożliwy do spełnienia ponieważ gdybanie zawsze dotyczy sytuacji odwrotnej niż ta, która
obecnie ma miejsce. Np.:
If I were you, I would go home.
Gdybym była tobą, poszłabym do domu.
