8 IMPORTANT Both "when" and "if" are used in the Present Real Conditional. "when" suggests that something happens regularly. "if" suggests that something happens less frequently.

9 When I have a day off from work, I usually go to the beach. (I regularly have days off from work.) If I have a day off from work, I usually go to the beach. (I rarely have days off from work.)

10 1. [If... Simple Past...,... would + verb...]

11 If I owned a car, I would drive to work.

12 2. [... would + verb... if... Simple Past...]

13 I would read more if I didn't watch so much TV

14 EXCEPTION: In the Present Unreal Conditional, the form "was" is not considered grammatically correct. In written English or in testing situations, you should always use "were." However, in everyday conversation, "was" is often used.

15 I would buy that computer if it was cheaper. Not Correct (But often said in conversation.) I would buy that computer if it were cheaper. Correct

16 IMPORTANT Only use "If" In the Present Unreal Conditional only the word "if" is used, because you are discussing imaginary situations. "When" cannot be used.

17 I would buy that computer when it were cheaper. Not Correct I would buy that computer if it were cheaper. Correct

18 There are some special conditional forms for modal verbs in English: 1. would + can = could 2. would + shall = should 3. would + may = might The words "can," "shall" and "may" cannot be used with "would." Instead, they must be used in these special forms.

19 1. If I went to Egypt, I would can learn Arabic. Not Correct If I went to Egypt, I could learn Arabic. Correct 2. If she had time, she would may go to the party. Not Correct If she had time, she might go to the party. Correct

21  The Past Unreal Conditional is used to talk about imaginary situations in the past. You can describe what you would have done differently or how something could have happened differently if circumstances had been different.

22 In past unreal conditional sentences the If clause presents the unreal condition. The result clause presents the unreal or imagined result of that condition.

23 FORM [If... Past Perfect...... would have + past participle... ] [... would have + past participle... If... Past Perfect...]

24 o Examples: If I had owned a car, I would have driven to work. But I didn't own one, so I took the bus. She would have traveled around the world If she had had more money. But she didn't have much money, so she never traveled. I would have read more as a child If I hadn't watched so much TV. Unfortunately, I did watch a lot of TV, so I never read for entertainment.

25  We can begin past unreal conditional sentences with the If-clause or the result clause.  We use a comma between the two clauses when the If- clause comes first.

26 o Examples: Roger would never have failed If he had any business sense whatsoever. If Roger had any good business sense, he would never have failed.

27 An unreal past condition may have a consequence in either the present or the past. If you had listened to my advice, you wouldn't be in trouble now. (now) If it had rained an hour ago, we would have stayed inside. If it had rained an hour ago, the streets would be wet. (now)

28  When the result is not certain, use might have or could have in the result clause to express possibility. Example: If Roger had studied business, he might have been more prosperous.

29  Negative The verbs can be negative in the If-clause, the result clause or both clauses. Examples: If Roger had been smarter, he would not have been so unsuccessful. If Roger hadn’t been foolish, he wouldn’t have got into trouble. Roger would still be in business If he hadn’t been so foolhardy.

30  Question  The question is formed only in the result clause, NOT in the If-clause. Examples: If you had seen the problems, what would you have done? If Roger had not seen the problems, would he have changed? Could Roger have made it If he had not had so many problems?

31 IMPORTANT Only use "If"  Only the word “If" is used with the Past Unreal Conditional because you are discussing imaginary situations. "When" cannot be used. Examples: I would have bought that computer when it had been cheaper. Not Correct I would have bought that computer If it had been cheaper. Correct

32 Subjunctive

33  FORM Use the simple form of the verb. The simple form is the infinitive without the "to." The simple form of the verb "to go" is "go." The Subjunctive is only noticeable in certain forms and tenses.

34  USE The Subjunctive is used to emphasize urgency or importance. It is used after certain expressions (see below). Examples: I suggest that he study. Is it essential that we be there? Don’t recommended that you join the committee.

35  NOTICE The Subjunctive is only noticeable in certain forms and tenses. In the next examples, the Subjunctive is not noticeable in the you-form of the verb, but it is noticeable in the he-form of the verb.

36 o Examples: You try to study often. (YOU-FORM OF "TRY“) It is important that you try to study often. (SUBJUNCTIVE FORM OF "TRY" LOOKS THE SAME.) He tries to study often. (HE-FORM OF "TRY“) It is important that he try to study often. (SUBJUNCTIVE FORM OF "TRY" IS NOTICEABLE HERE.)

37 o Expressions Followed by the Subjunctive. The Subjunctive is used after the following expressions: It is best (that) It is crucial (that) It is desirable (that) It is essential (that) It is imperative (that) It is important (that) It is recommended (that) It is urgent (that) It is vital (that) It is a good idea (that) It is a bad idea (that)

38 o Examples: It is crucial that you be there before Tom arrives. It is important she attend the meeting. It is recommended that he take a gallon of water with him If he wants to hike to the bottom of the Grand Canyon.
