As frases estruturadas com a First Conditional são

possíveis de acontecer diante das
condições certas. Relembre a estrutura:

semester.
(Se eu tiver dinheiro, eu viajarei para a Austrália no
próximo semestre.)

As frases estruturadas com a Second Conditional são

apenas hipóteses e suposições que não
irão acontecer, elas aconteceriam se a condição não
fosse hipotética. Atenção à estrutura:

If I had money, I would travel to Australia next

semester.
(Se eu tivesse dinheiro, eu viajaria para a Austrália
no próximo semestre.)

Atenção à estrutura da Second Conditional –
Conditional II

Condição: If + Verb (Past): If I had money... (Se eu

tivesse dinheiro...)

Resultado com WOULD → I would travel to Australia

(Eu viajaria para a Austrália.)

O verbo To Be no passado sofre um irregularidade na

Conditional II. Não utilizamos was para I, he, she e
it, utilizamos were para todas as pessoas. No
entanto, esta é uma regra gramatical que os próprios
falantes nativos não obedecem, ou seja, não é
extamente um erro se você disser:

If I was richer, I would travel more.

(Se eu fosse mais rico, eu viajaria mais.)

If Kristina wasn’t always late for work, she would be

promoted.
(Se Kristina não estivesse sempre atrasada para o
trabalho, ela seria promovida.)

now.
