Conditional (If) Clauses Type 2

Type 2: ఈ typeలో ఊహాజనితమైన వాక్యాల్ని చెబుతాం. In this type we talk about hypothetical or even imaginary situations. Since we do not have this type in our languages, we have to pay special attention to the construction of this type of clauses. ఇవి అవాస్తవమైనవి కాబట్టి past tense is used in both the clauses. This type deals with imagined situations. కొన్ని జరిగేవి ఉంటాయి, కొన్ని జరగనివి ఉంటాయి. The speaker/writer imagines that something can happen. We can also use 'could' and 'might' instead of 'would' in unreal conditional clauses.

Eg.
  • If I were a millionaire, I would buy two cars.
  • If wishes were horses, fools would ride them.
  • If you were a good salesman, you would sell a fridge even to an Eskimo.
  • If I had money, I could spend it. (I would be able to spend it)
  • If Anushka maintained her weight, she would get more acting chances. (తన బరువుని కాపాడుకోలేకపోయింది కాబట్టి, సినిమా అవకాశాలు తగ్గాయి)
