If + Past Simple

Conditional

(would)

If you travelled, you would meet people. EL SEGUNDO CONDICIONAL

Su estructura es If + pasado + condicional y se usa para indicar condiciones hipotéticas

referidas al presente, es decir que podrían tener lugar pero es poco probable que lleguen

a término.

If I had more time, I would study German.

En español se usa el pretérito imperfecto de subjuntivo en lugar del pasado.

Si el verbo de la oración subordinada es to be se puede utilizar were con todas las

personas.

If she were older, she would get the job.

Siempre se usa were con el pronombre I cuando damos un consejo.

If I were you, I would talk to him about this problem.

VariacionesLas variaciones más frecuentes de la estructura básica del segundo condicional son los

verbos modales could y might, pero estos denotan que la probabilidad de que la hipótesis

se cumpla es todavía menor que si se usa would. Es español equivalen a las expresiones

“tal vez” , “quizás”.

If you studied, you could/might get good results.
