Şimdi de "if clauses" konusunun farklı bir bölümünü göreceğiz.

If I had a lot of money, I wouldn't go to a university.

Gerçekleşme ihtimali çok zayıf olan veya hiç olmayan, gerçekleşmemiş olayları ingilizce olarak nasıl anlatırız? Esas önemli olan, olayın gerçeklememiş olması ve gerçekleşmesinin de beklenmemesidir. Koşul cümlesi mana olarak geniş zamanda olmasına rağmen, simple past tense ile kullanılır. Ana cümlecik de, zaten olmayan bir koşuldan etkilendiği için, "hayali" durumdadır; bu nedenle de "would" ile kurulur. Bu type, genellikle dilek ve temennileri ifade etmek için kullanılır.

Kısaca şöyle diyelim: "if clause" olarak gerçeğin zıddını yazarız, ana cümlecik olarak da sanki yazığımı koşul gerçek olmuş gibi düşünerek hayalimizi yazarız.
If I lived in France, I would know the French language very well.
If I had a new computer, I would be very happy.

If clause içindeki bu kullanım, "type 2" olarak adlandırılır.
Type 2 deki en belirgin özelliklerden biri, isim cümlelerinde özne tekil de olsa, çoğul da olsa yüklem "were" olarak kullanılır.

Simple past + would
If he weren't ill, he would come to the party.
If it were sunny, we would go to the park.

Bu type ile en sık kullanılan tabirlerden biri de "If I were you.....", yani "senin yerinde olsaydım......" deyimidir.
If I were you, I wouldn't buy that shirt.
If I were you, I would read that book.

What would you do if you were me?
If you had a million dollars, would you still work?
If I weren't a doctor, I would like to be a businessman.
Which animal would you like to be if you weren't human?
If I won the lottery, I would be driving a supercar now.
If I were having lunch at the moment, I wouldn't be able to answer your call.

Type 2 nin daha detaylı açıklamasını burada bulabilirsiniz.

"Wish" kelimesi, cümleye "keşke" kelimesine benzer bir anlam katar. "wish", sözcüğünü dilek dilemek için kullanırız. Gerçekte olmayan şeyler için "keşke" anlamında kullanırız. Kullanım olarak "if clause" ile benzerdir. Burada da aslında geniş zamanda gerçekleşen şeylerin zıddını, geçmiş zaman ile söyleyeriz. Böylece gerçekte olmayan bir şey için, "keşke olsaydı" demiş oluruz.
I wish I had a horse.
I wish it weren't so windy today.
I wish I were thin.
I wish I were a famous singer.

Wish kullanımını da burada, diğer benzer ifadeler konusunda işledik.
