Fiche à imprimer : If I won the lottery : si je gagnais au loto (3e)

Anglais	Français
If I won the lottery, I would travel around the world.	Si je gagnais au loto, je ferais le tour du monde.
I'd buy a house for my parents.	J'achèterais une maison pour mes parents.
I'd give some money to charity.	Je donnerais de l'argent à des associations.
If I were rich, I wouldn't stop working.	Si j'étais riche, je n'arrêterais pas de travailler.
If I were you, I'd save it.	Si j'étais toi, je l'économiserais.
Money can't buy happiness.	L'argent ne fait pas le bonheur.

Pour imaginer une situation irréelle ou peu probable, on utilise le second conditionnel : If + prétérit, would + verbe. If I won the lottery, I would buy a boat. (Si je gagnais au loto, j'achèterais un bateau.) Attention : après if, jamais de would ! Avec be, on dit souvent If I were... pour toutes les personnes (If I were you = si j'étais toi, pour donner un conseil). Contraction : I would → I'd, would not → wouldn't.

Mise en situation : à la cantine
