O significado do "second conditional sentence"

No último exercício, eu fiz lista de duas frases para comparar o primeiro e o segundo condicional, conforme escrito abaixo. Com palavras em negrito, é possível comparar as frases gramaticamente. Enquanto a frase (1) está no tempo verbal de presente, a frase (2) está escrita no passado. Embora consegue identificar a diferença entre as duas frases gramaticamente, o significado não é ainda claro.     


(1) If I know your name, I will call you
(2) If I knew your name, I would call you 

(1) I will sing the music if I listen to it
(2) I would sing the music if I listened to it

(1) If you tell me the television program, I will watch it
(2) If you told me the television program, I would watch it  

(1) I will eat food if you give me


(2) I would eat food if you gave me


O significado do segundo condicional é que a ação não tem possibilidade de ser cumprida ou realizada. Vamos usar um par de frases para ilustrar o significado. 

(1) I will eat food if you give me


(2) I would eat food if you gave me

A frase (1) mostra que existe a possibilidade de ele me dar comida enquanto a frase (2) mostra que não há esta possibilidade. Se não há possibilidade, a frase se torna hipotética. Portanto, o segundo condicional representa uma situação hipotética!

Comparando-se first conditional com second conditional sentence

Aprendendo conditional sentences (frases condicionais) é melhor compreendido quando ensina as três formas juntas. Neste post, vamos comparar a primeira e a segunda frases condicionais, usando o último exercício.


(1) If I know your name, I will call you
(2) If I knew your name, I would call you 

(1) I will sing the music if I listen to it
(2) I would sing the music if I listened to it

(1) If you tell me the television program, I will watch it
(2) If you told me the television program, I would watch it  

(1) I will eat food if you give me
(2) I would eat food if you gave me

Você consegue notar as diferenças entre frases (1) e (2)? O que diferencia as palavras em negrito da frase (1) com as da frase (2)? A primeira fase representa o primeira condicional enquanto a frase (2) representa o segundo condicional.

First conditional sentence - resposta

First conditional serve para falar sobre alguma coisa que tem possibilidade de ocorrer no futuro. Essa possibilidade de futuro é marcada pelo uso de "will". Gramaticamente, uma parte de frase representa futuro de presente (will + presente) enquanto a parte de "if" contenha verbo de presente.
     Nos próximos posts, eu vou comparar o first conditional sentence com o segundo e o terceiro.
