if clause : simple past tense
main clause : past future tense (S + would + V1)
Tipe ini digunakan untuk menyatakan suatu tindakan/keadaan yang berlawanan/ bertentangan dengan kenyataan pada saat ini. Sebenarnya syarat dalam if-clause bisa saja terpenuhi, tetapi kemungkinannya sangat kecil.
Contoh:
If you studied hard, you would pass the exam.
(Real fact : You don’t study hard.)
If I had a lot of money, I would lend you some.
(Real fact : I don’t have much money.)
Would bisa juga diganti dengan could atau might.
Contoh:
You might be successful if you tried harder.
If I had some information, I could let you know.
