My name is Alicia and today we're going to talk about how to use Wood to talk about the future.

So I've said the future here for this lesson because we're going to cover many different ways to use Wood to imagine the future, to imagine the present.

Also, we're going to talk about using it to make requests and offers and invitations and to express preferences.

Finally, it We're also going to talk about the differences between would and will in conditional sentence is something that I often see learners struggle with.

So we're going to start in about two minutes.

Facebook is a little bit interesting today, but in the meantime, uh, well, we'll wait like another minute or so.

Uh, and then I wanted to mention I'll show this picture will appear in a little in a minute.

Our control desk is fixing some things, but I mentioned every once in a while our weekly Q and A Serie is the weekly Q and A.

The series is called Ask Alicia, and this is a screenshot from Ask Alicia.

All right, we're working on a technical issue right now on our Facebook stream, so hopefully we'll be able to get rolling in just a minute.

I'm not sure there's a small Facebook problem.

But if you missed it today, we're talking about how to use Wood to talk about the future.

So I guess for now from Facebook's being a little bit tricky today.

So I'm going to start off with our first point for today.

Our first item for today's lesson is conditional, is conditional is, and I'm going to talk about conditional tze with questions.

So a conditional a conditional is a sentence that has that, if something, something, then something, something pattern or you can switch it as well.

So I want to start today's lesson by talking about these condition.

ALS So, uh, first I want to talk about conditional tze with statements so, uh, we'll zoom in a little bit.

Our control desk is busy trying to fix some things right now.

First of all, when we make it conditional with a statement, we have a pattern like if our subject were something, something and then we follow it with subject would or wouldn't plus the infinitive form of the verb.

So for today's lesson, I'm going to focus on this, the second conditional.

So maybe some of you know, like first conditional second conditional Third conditional and so on for today's lesson, I'm going to focus on the second conditional, which uses Wood to make a positive statement and wouldn't to make a negative statement.

So when you make a second conditional type sentence, you're describing an unrealized situation in the present.

So something that is not true now, and it's something that's unlikely.

So that means there's a low chance of that thing happening, so something it's unreal.

And that is unlikely is a second conditional statement.

Also, another point here is if you use this conditional sentence.

One big question this says were if subject were something something if subject were something, Something Uh, yeah.

We're having some trouble with Facebook Still, uh, if subject were so when you make a second conditional sentence using wood, make sure you use were here.

Lots of learners asked, like, What's the difference between if I wasn't If I were the difference?

I've talked about a few times in Ask Alicia before.

The difference is if I waas is a simple, past tense statement.

So we want to make a like a statement about the past.

So, for example, if I was noisy last night, I apologize.

That means I don't know if I was noisy or not, But if I waas, I apologize.

So that means there's a chance in the past that thing happened, However, when you use if I work or if subject were, it's referring to the present situation.

Now it's a it's a really, uh, it's an unreal situation now in the present.

So if I were a teacher, I would teach math, for example, that sentence means I am not a teacher.

It is not like a possible situation now, but in that situation I would teach math.

So those sentences, if I were and if I was there, actually often like mixed up by native speakers.

But if you want to make sure to always be correct when you're making a second conditional sentence and you're using this if I were or if he were pattern, make sure to use work.

So let's take a look at some example sentences that use this I'll keep reading cause our control does is still busy trying to fix the Facebook issue.

So I will read our example sentences with this point first.

So here, as I've talked about we used this were here.

So if I were you, this is correct for a second conditional pattern.

So after are would we follow with the infinitive form of the verb.

If he had more free time, he wouldn't be so stressed out.

So this second conditional pattern uses a different verb.

When you're using the second conditional pattern and you're not using this work here, use the past tense, simple past tense form of the verb.

So in this case, if he had so had is the simple, past tense form of have.

If he had more free time, so more meaning more than he does now.

If he had more free time, he wouldn't so wouldn't is the reduced form of would not He wouldn't be so stressed out, he wouldn't be so stressed up.

This person in the sentence does not have very much time and therefore now is stressed up.

So again, we're imagining a present unreal situation.

So if he had more free time, he wouldn't be so stressed.

If we won the lottery, we would buy a house.

So lottery is ah, game of chance you can buy a ticket in the USA, and there will be numbers that are announced for that ticket.
