If The World Were 100 People Master Second Conditional Today! What if the world were only 100 people? Today well look at a video that shows what the humanpopulationwould be like if there were only 100 of us here. Since were talking about something that is impossible because it is untrue now, well use the second conditional. If conditionals are new to you, I recommend starting with this lesson, which explains each type of conditional in detail along with some fun activities.First, lets review. When do we use second conditional?To talk about what we would generally do in imaginary situations: If I were you, I would call him back.Now, takea look at the structures of second conditional. Remember, you can easily flip the sentences around, as shown below:Sentences:If + (subject) (past simple), (subject) would + (verb)If I won the lottery, I would travel all over the world.I would travel all over the world if I won the lottery.Questions:What + would + (subject) + (verb) + if + (subject) + (past simple)?What would you do if the world were 100 people?Wh at if + (subject) + (past simple)?What if the world were 100 people?If + (subject) + (past simple), what would + (subject) + (verb)?If the world were 100 people, what would you do?Continuous sentence:If + (subject) (past simple), (subject) + would be + (verb)ingIf I were you, I wouldnt be dating that guy.I wouldnt be dating that guy if I were you.Its time for a little bit of practice. Match the beginning of the sentence to the end to make a complete thought.
