Start Using the 2nd Conditional in Real English Conversations

Learn how to use the second conditional in real life. If you know the basics of the second conditional, but are not sure when and how to actually use it when you speak, this advanced English grammar lesson is just for you. I will teach you about implied “if” clauses, common sentence types, and formal words and phrases that you can use with the second conditional. Wouldn’t it be great if you could learn how to talk about potential realities? Imagine if you knew how to use the second conditional with ease! That would be wonderful, wouldn’t it? That’s exactly what this lesson is for. If you are familiar with the basics of the second conditional and you want to know how to apply it to daily life and real English conversations, watch this class.

Hi Alex, that was advanced usage of second conditional. It is application of it in real life speeches and conversations. But wait Alex, seeing beyond ourselves, I opined that not just our but next generation deserves to benefit from this your wealth of knowledge resources. I suggest you put the contents of this class and others in book form. So that families, house holds & generations can have access to them. God bless you & yours. -Apostle Moses

Even if I know that exception, It would have been good to repeat or explain for the newbies that we don't say "If I WAS you" but "If I WERE you"

Teacher i'm really like the way you are teaching, but one problem that i have when you teach you prevent me from seeing the board correctly, right 👍.

[@engvidAlex]

Sorry! I try to move out of the way as much as possible. 😅

[@sabitozaktan5765]

Hiii. Alexxx

[@fireboytrplh]

First to comment, hehe😁

[@diyasusan308]

Hi, Can I use "If he were my boss, my job would be horrible" Instead of "If he were to be my boss, my job would be horrible" I mean were instead of were to Please reply

[@engvidAlex]

Both are grammatical and commonly used. 👍

[@diyasusan308]

Hi, Why can't I use "If I had to" instead of "If I were to" ? Please reply

[@engvidAlex]

You can use “If I had to” as well! I wish I had included it in this lesson now. 😅 If I had to hire someone new, I’d want it to be someone with fresh ideas.

[@diyasusan308]
