The present participle is formed by taking the basic form of a verb and adding a suffix.

|---|---|---|---|
| He | would | be | staying |
| They | would | be | going |
| Positif | Negatif | Pertanyaan | Pertanyaan Negatif |
|---|---|---|---|
| I would be living | I wouldn't be living | Would I be living? | Wouldn't I be living? |
| You would be living | You wouldn't be living | Would you be living? | Wouldn't you be living? |
| He would be living | He wouldn't be living | Would he be living? | Wouldn't he be living? |
| She would be living | She wouldn't be living | Would she be living? | Wouldn't she be living? |
| We would be living | We wouldn't be living | Would we be living? | Wouldn't we be living? |
| They would be living | They wouldn't be living | Would they be living? | Wouldn't they be living? |
Rumus Conditional Sentence Type 2
Bagian conditional clause (if + condition) menggunakan simple past tense, sedangkan bagian main clause (result) menggunakan modal verb dan bare infinitive (infinitive tanpa to).
| complex sentence | |
|---|---|
| subordinate clause (if + condition) | main clause (result/consequence) |
| if + simple past | would/could/might + bare infinitive |

If-clause dapat menempati awal atau tengah kalimat. Ketika if-clause menempati awal kalimat, koma ditempatkan sebelum main clause. If … not dapat digantikan dengan unless.
Were Menggantikan Was
Pada conditional sentence type 2, were digunakan menggantikan was meskipun menggunakan singular subject (subjek tunggal: 3rd person pronoun (she, he, it) atau noun). Hal ini untuk menunjukkan bahwa pengandaiannya benar-benar hanya berupa khayalan semata karena condition-nya tidak mungkin dipenuhi (present unreal situation).
| complex sentence | |
|---|---|
| subordinate clause (if + condition) | main clause (result/consequence) |
| if + S + were | would/could/might + bare infinitive |
