You can use these modal verbs instead of will: can, may.

The verb BE

The verb BE has a special rule in this case.

Usually we say: I was, he was, she was, it was, we were, you were, they were.

However, in these cases, we use: I were, he were, she were, it were, we were, you were, they were.

In other words: "were" is the only form.

Examples:

If I were you I would apologize. (In reality I am not you.)

I would fight back,if I were you. (In reality I am not you.)

The Third Conditional: We use the third conditional when talking about things which are contrary to the past facts. In other words: events that did not happen in the past.

CONDITIONAL SENTENCES - OTHER WORDS INTRODUCING CONDITIONAL SENTENCES

We can use alternatives to if if we want to emphasize the conditions surrounding the action, i.e. one thing will happen only if another thing happens. We can also use so long as and providing (that) as alternatives to as long as and provided (that). On condition that is formally very explicit. Provided / providing are more formal than as long as / so long as.

EL SEGUNDO CONDICIONAL

Su estructura es If + pasado + condicional y se usa para indicar condiciones hipotéticas referidas al presente, es decir que podrían tener lugar pero es poco probable que lleguen a término.

                If I had more time, I would study German.

En español se usa el pretérito imperfecto de subjuntivo en lugar del pasado.

Si el verbo de la oración subordinada es to be se puede utilizar were con todas las personas.

                      If she were older, she would get the job.

Siempre se usa were con el pronombre I cuando damos un consejo.

                  If I were you, I would talk to him about this problem.

Variaciones del Segundo Condicional.

Las variaciones más frecuentes de la estructura básica del segundo condicional son los verbos modales could y might, pero estos denotan que la probabilidad de que la hipótesis se cumpla es todavía menor que si se usa would. ENn español equivalen a las expresiones “tal vez” , “quizás”.

                        

                       If you studied, you could/might get good results.

There are some special conditional forms for modal verbs in English:

would + can = could

would + shall = should

would + may = might

The words "can," "shall" and "may" cannot be used with "would." Instead, they must be used in these special forms.

Examples:

·       If I went to Egypt next year, I would can learn Arabic. Unfortunately, that's not possible. Not Correct

·       If I went to Egypt next year, I could learn Arabic. Unfortunately, that's not possible. Correct

The words "could," should," "might" include conditional, so you cannot combine them with "would."

Examples:

·       If I didn't have to work tonight, I would could go to the fitness center. Not Correct

·       If I didn't have to work tonight, I could go to the fitness center. Correct

FIRST CONDITIONAL - GRAMMAR

First Conditional: real possibility

First Conditional (Tipo 1)

Esto tipo del condicional se utiliza para el futuro y en los casos cuando es muy probable que la condición pasará.

IF	Condition	Result
If	Present simple	Future simple ("will")

Ejemplos:

• If Bill studies, he will pass the exam. / Bill will pass the exam if he studies. (Si Bill estudia, aprobará el examen.)
• If it doesn't rain, we will go to the beach./ We will go to the beach if it doesn't rain. (Si no llueve, iremos a la playa.)
• Will you take the train if you miss the bus?/ If you miss the bus, will you take the train? (¿Cogerás el tren si pierdes el bus?)

Nota: Se pueden usar algunos verbos modales en vez de "will" para cambiar la probabilidad o expresar una opinión.

Ejemplos:

• If it doesn't rain, we may go to the beach. (Si no llueve, puede que vayamos a la play)(*Con el uso de "may", el significado de esta frase cambia. Ahora, el hablante reconoce que puede ir a la playa pero no esta tan seguro de si irá.)
• If it doesn't rain we should go to the beach. (Si no llueve, deberíamos ir a la playa) (*En este caso, el uso de "should" expresa la opinión del hablante.)
• If it doesn't rain we can go to the beach. (Si no llueve, podemos ir a la playa)("Can" significa que es posible ir a la playa, pero no indica la probabilidad.)
