Условные предложения II типа

Условные предложения II типа образуются с помощью союза if + Past Simple в придаточном предложении и would (could, might) + Infinitive в главном предложении.

Условные предложения II типа используются для описания нереальной, невозможной, умозрительной или противоречащей известным фактам ситуации (или условия) и ее возможного результата. Хотя в придаточном предложении сказуемое употребляется в прошедшем времени, мы на самом деле говорим о настоящем. Различие между условными предложениями I и II типа относится к вероятности условия или ситуации, а не времени. Условные предложения I типа описывают реальные и возможные ситуации; условные предложения II типа описывают ситуации, которые, вероятно, никогда не произойдут.

Условные предложения II типа могут начинаться как с главного предложения, так и с придаточного.
