型態
在第二類條件句中，現在條件式也會用到進行式。
| if 子句（條件/情況） | 主要子句（結果） |
|---|---|
| if + 過去簡單式 | 現在進行條件式 |
| If this thing happened | that thing would be happening. |
作用
這種型態在第二類條件句是很常見的，它表達的是一個未完成或進行中的動作或情況，是非真實情況可能會有的結果。
舉例
- I would be working in Italy if I spoke Italian.（但我不會說義大利語，所以我沒有在義大利工作）
- She wouldn't be living with Jack if she lived with her parents.（但她和 Jack 同居，而不是跟父母同居）
- You wouldn't be smiling if you knew the truth.（但你之所以還在笑，是因為你不知道事情的真相）
現在進行條件式
任何動詞的現在進行條件式都是由三個要素組成：
would + be + 現在分詞
現在分詞的構造是取動詞原形，接著在字尾加上 ing。
| 主詞 | + would | + be | + 現在分詞 |
|---|---|---|---|
| He | would | be | staying |
| They | would | be | going |
現在進行條件式，以 To Live 為例:
| 肯定句 | 否定句 | 疑問句 | 否定疑問句 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 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? |
