Dica 1 - Identifique o tipo pelo tempo na clausula IF

If + Present Simple: Zero ou First. If + Past Simple: Second. If + Past Perfect: Third.

Dica 2 - Nunca "would" na clausula IF

Esta e a pegadinha mais frequente em provas. Se a questao pedir para completar "If he ___ (know)...", a resposta nunca e "would know" - e "knew" (Second) ou "had known" (Third).

Dica 3 - "Were" para todos no Second Conditional formal

Em provas formais: "If I were", "If she were", "If it were" - nunca "was". A expressao "If I were you" e sempre com "were".

Dica 4 - Inversao formal

"Had I known" = Third Conditional sem "if"
"Were she here" = Second Conditional sem "if"
"Should you need" = First Conditional formal sem "if"
