Conditional and Wish

1- Conditionals
Conditional Type 1
Form: If + simple present + simple future
Use: Conditional Type 1 is used to express a possible action in the future
Example: If I have enough time, I'll watch the football match.
I may have time to watch the match but I'm not sure about it.

Conditional Type 2
Form: If + simple past + would + base form
Use: conditional type 2 is used for unreal impossible situations. This conditional provides an imaginary
result for a given situation.
Were / Was
In conditional type 2, we usually use in the if clause "were" instead of "was" even if the pronoun is I, he,
she or it. "were"
Example: If I were a millionaire, I would buy a castle.
If I had a lot of money, I would travel around the world.

Conditional Type 3
Form: If + past perfect + would have + past participle
Use: Conditional Sentences Type 3 refer to situations in the past. They express hypothetical results to past
given situations.
Example:
If he had been careful, he wouldn't have had that terrible accident.
Sometimes in the past, he was careless. He drove so fast. So he had a terrible accident.
If I had revised my lessons, I would have had a good mark.
