Subjunctive Conditionals

Subjunctive conditionals are sentences that discuss hypothetical or unreal situations, often expressing wishes, wishes not true, or unlikely events. They typically have an "if" clause that describes a scenario contrary to reality, using past tense forms (e.g., "if I were" instead of "if I was"), and a main clause showing the imagined outcome. For example, "If I were rich, I would travel the world." These conditionals help us explore possibilities that are not currently true, emphasizing how outcomes depend on situations that are hypothetical or unlikely.
