Conditional Sentence Type 2

Pengertian Conditional Sentence Type 2

Conditional sentence type 2 atau second conditional adalah conditional sentence yang digunakan ketika result/consequence (hasil) dari condition (syarat) tidak memiliki atau hanya sedikit kemungkinan untuk terwujud karena condition-nya tidak mungkin dipenuhi di masa sekarang (present unreal situation) atau condition-nya sulit untuk dipenuhi di masa depan (unlikely to happen).

Rumus Conditional Sentence Type 2

 

• If di awal kalimat:

if + condition, result/consequence
if + simple past, would/could/might + bare infinitive

• If di tengah kalimat:

result/consequence + if + condition
would/could/might + bare infinitive + if + simple past

Negatif if + condition

Rumus: if…not dapat digantikan dengan unless.

 

Pada conditional sentence type 2, were digunakan menggantikan was meskipun subjek yang digunakan merupakan 3rd person pronoun (she, he, it) maupun kata benda tunggal. Hal ini untuk menunjukkan bahwa pengandaiannya benar-benar hanya berupa khayalan semata karena condition-nya tidak mungkin dipenuhi (present unreal situation).

if + condition, result/consequence
if + S + were, would (could/might) + bare infinitive

Inverted word order berarti verb muncul sebelum subject. Kondisi ini dapat terjadi dengan menghilangkan kata “if” dan menukar posisi subject dan verb. Contohnya sebagai berikut.
