“If I had watched the lesson, I would have known the answer.” OH NO!!! MORE CONDITIONALS!!! Catch up with Ronnie’s lesson on zero and first conditionals, then learn about the ‘Second Conditional’ and ‘Third Conditional’ in English. I’ll teach you when we use them, and what the structures are. After watching the lesson, you’ll be able to answer the question — “What would you do if you had a million dollars?”
I do appreciate my scores in quiz despite I didn’t watch video lesson. But next time as I promise I will be doing better than what I do today. I will not be forget to give warmly thank to teacher Ronnie, she is very good teacher with her little funny so I like her lesson the most, just keep it up God bless your high excellency to do more, I am from South Sudan but I live Cairo, Egypt
6/6 thank you Jon.
thanks too much
6/6 Thanks for your effort.
thank you. that’s fascinating – now I am studying the conditionals with my teacher and this lesson was very useful to me.I was not so good at guiz. nevertheless it helps.
I did the little quiz and got 6 outta 6
thanks, man
yeaaah !!! 6/6 , thank you very much , i am being able to use the right structure on the right place now !!!
If I had a million dollars, I’d rent a castle in Scotland and organise the biggest party never seen in the world.
Of course, Jon & Ronnie would be the guest star of it !
You gave examle “If I had a million dollars, I’d give most you”
Why is the wrong that “If + subject + simple past,
subject + would/might/could + present tense”
Thank you for your time Jon.
not too bad, only one is wrong ;;)
pretty nice freaking lesson Jon. if I had a million dollars, I’d travel to Brizil 4 a year n’ Jon will be my partner to drink that way I would learn English once and for all. lol.
i hate this kind of Grammar
thanks jon

Hey John,
Thanks for the lesson. I don’t hear if structure in my daily converstion with people or while listening to radio that much,do people don’t say the “if ” word ?I mean is it possible to make an if structure without saying “if”.
fantastic
really it’s a wonderful lesson
thank you very much Jon

Good job. I would have liked it better, if you had written the sentence structure formula under the examples. However, I really appreciate the lesson on conditionals. I have been looking for help on understanding them.

hey jon how are you doing you’re a very good teacher please can you write the structure of the 1 and 2 and 3 conditionals and also i want to ask a question you said that when we want to give a dvice we always write or say if I were not if I was ???
Conditional Structures:
Zero:
if + subject + simple present verb + , + subject + simple present verb
First:
if + subject + simple present + , + subject + will + base verb
Second:
if + subject + simple past verb* + , + subject + would + verb
Note: in the case of verb BE. whatever, the subject, the verb form is ‘were’ not was.
Third:
if + subject + past perfect verb* + , + subject + would Or could Or might + have + past participle.
cheers,
Mursaleen

Well, sorry again but “I would give” isn´t WOULD and present tense. It´s WOULD and PRESENT INFINITIVE, which makes the form of PRESENT CONDITIONAL. “I would have passed” isn´t WOULD and present perfect. It´s WOULD and PAST INFINITIVE, which makes the form of PAST CONDITIONAL. Past infinitives are made: Have + past participle and they are used mainly in perfect tenses, past conditionals and with modal verbs…. Soooooooory, if you say “would and present tense”, you can expect that some of students could use it i.e. this way: He would gives (!)……
Generally, I think conditionals are one of the most difficult part of English Grammar for foreign students. I found it very hard to be explained as although past conditionals do exist in other languages, the situations expressed by the 3rd conditionals in English can be said by simpler ways in students’ mother language and that’s why past conditionals are not used frequently. It’s not for beginners for sure. And I have not mentioned mixes, which are extremely difficult even for university students.
Anyway, I enjoy your site and admire your effort and I have used many videos of yours during my lessons. Hope you won´t be upset with me if I disagree with you from time to time, :))))). Go on, guys!
Thank you for the lesson about 2nd and 3rd conditional.
6/6
hello jennifer :p
Thank you so much, Teacher)))
6/6. Thank you so much.
Hello Mr Jon .I am from Vietnam. I have just joined your lesson and I liked it very much because it is short, and it is easy to understand. You are a humorous teacher, If I had a million dollars, I would change it into Vietnamese dong , Okay?
That’s a lot of dong!
6/6 thank you and chokran in arabic
this video is very helpful for me.. thank you so much..
Hi, thanks Mr. Jon :)
Now I am seriously mixed up because of your lesson :/
Is it okay to use present perfect in one sentence, two clauses ? For example, ” he could not HAVE stayed this long unless something evil has happened to him” . Or shall we say ” he could not HAD stayed this long unless something evil has happened to him.”? If they are both correct, what is the difference? I hope you got me!
I must beg of you to please answer me, it may sound stupid to you though! X_X
Thanks in advane :)
Hi everybody!!!
I have to notice that all of ENGVID’s teacher do very important things for all of us.
And I would like to say big “THANKS” for all of them.
Now i’m talking to you Jon!
Thanks for interesting and useful lesson! And thank you a lot for your effort that you have been doing.
You know, Albert Einstein once said: “Try not to become a man of success but rather to become a man of value”!!!
But you don’t have to try anymore. You already became a man of value. Just look at all your LIKEs that you already got (and comments).
My best regards JON.
Goodbye.
Now I want to talk to the English-studying audience a little bit.
Well…
I’m from Ukraine, and i do study English us you do.
But the point is my speaking skills kind of looooow, because I don’t have the opportunity to improve it:(
The cause is, in Ukraine we do not have a lot of English-speaking foreigners, so I cannot communicate with them.
Whatever…
I want to and I have to improve my English (especially my speaking)!
I’m talking to somebody who got the same problem or just want to communicate and have some fun.
So if you want to help me (and yourself), i will be happy.
I suggest you to communicate with me over Skype.
I’m looking for a person with Intermediate or Advanced English-speaking skills from all over the world.
My Skype ID – jevgeniikyrychyk, my name is Ievhenii Kyrychyk (you can call me just Zhenia, like Jack).
I prefer to speak with girls, sorry guys – i’m just joking :).
Thanks for reading this, hope we’ll contact soon.
P.S.
Let’s take advantage fellow, let’s take advantage:)!
Bye.
I’m from Ukraine, and i do study English us you do (as). You misspelled word “AS”.
thanks Jon awesome lesson
gr8 lesson.. I got 6/6
5 correct out of 6 – Thomas from Poland thx
i got 6\6 :D ! ^_^
you guys are doing a great job. But I think it’s better for you to use another type of board. It’s kinda hard to see what’s on it.
6. If Wesley was a girl, I _______ _______ the show better.
This question is wrong, please correct.
Correct grammar in this case is “If Wesley were a girl”…
