Use the Second Conditional. 1) I haven’t got any money, so I won’t buy that CD. ____If I had some money, I would buy that CD.___________________________________________ 2) Pigs haven’t got wings, so they don’t fly. _________________________________________________________________________________ 3) His marks aren’t good because he doesn’t work hard.

Answer 1

Answer:

2) If pigs had wings, they would fly.

3) If he worked hard, his marks would be good.

Explanation:

Second conditional is a structure that expresses an impossible (or highly unlikely) situation. In other words, it expresses a condition that can't be met.

The structure of the second conditional is as follows:

- main clause (the condition) contains "if" and verb in past tense

- the other clause contains would+verb construction.

So, these are rewritten sentences:

2) If pigs had wings, they would fly.

3) If he worked hard, his marks would be good.

If we write the "if" clause first, we need to separate it with a comma, otherwise we don't.
