به این شرط غیر ممکن یا “no Possibility” می گویند.
اولین و دومین شرط در مورد آینده بودند ولی سومین شرط مربوط به گذشته می شود. ما به موقعیتی در گذشته فکر می کنیم که رخ نداده است.
به نظر شما چرا به آن no Possibility می گویند؟
زیرا موقعیتی که به آن فکر می کنیم در گذشته رخ نداده و دیگر وقت آن گذشته است . شما هفته پیش یک بلیط Lottery (بخت آزمایی) خریداری کردید ولی برنده نشدید.
ساختار کلی جملات شرطی نوع دوم به شکل زیر است :
حال کامل (ماضی نقلی) + مُدال گذشته + , + ماضی بعید + if
| نتیجه | شرط | اگر |
| WOULD HAVE +Past Participle | Past Perfect | |
| I would buy a car. | I won the lottery | If |
نکته: گاهی اوقات به جای would have از could have ، should have و might have نیز میتوان استفاده کرد.
If you had bought a Lottery, you might have won.
به چند مثال توجه کنید:
| نتیجه | شرط | اگر |
| WOULD HAVE +past participle | past perfect | |
| I would have told her. | I had seen Mary | if |
| I would have invited her. | Tara had been free yesterday | if |
| their teacher would have been sad. | they had not passed their exam | if |
| would you have stayed at home? | it had rained yesterday | if |
| what would you have done? | it had rained yesterday |
مثال دوم :
