Form
Im Konditional II kann die Verlaufsform des Konditional Präsens verwendet werden.
| If -Satz (Bedingung) | Hauptsatz (Ergebnis) |
|---|---|
| If + Perfekt | present continuous conditional |
| If this thing happened | that thing would be happening. |
Funktionsweise
Die Verlaufsform drückt unfertige oder andauernde Ereignisse oder Situationen aus, die das mögliche Ergebnis einer irrealen Begebenheit sind.
Beispiele
- I would be working in Italy if I spoke Italian. (But I don't speak Italian, so I am not working in Italy)
- She wouldn't be living with Jack if she lived with her parents. (But she is living with Jack and not with her parents).
- You wouldn't be smiling if you knew the truth. (But you are smiling because you don't know the truth.)
