? Conditional 2 progressive formation

Regular:

would have been + Infinitive + “-ing”

Also, the formation of the conditional 2 progressive is simple. Because from a normal sentence, you just have to write a would have been before your verb and add “-ing” to your verb. However, you must follow the correct English word order.

 

would not have been + Infinitive + “-ing”

Accordingly, the negation is not much hard, because you only need to write a not between your would and have been.

 

Irregular:

As well as in most other progressive tenses there is no irregularity in the conditional 2 progressive.

‼️ What is to be considered in the Progressive form of the Conditional 2!

 

Spelling rules to “-ing” formation:

Particularly, making verbs with ing at the end is very simple. However, there are few points to consider:

 

 1. For verbs ending in “-e”:

The “-e” goes away:

• give becomes giving

 

2. Verbs ending in “-er”, “-ur”, “-ir”:

The final consonant is doubled:

• occurs to occurring

 

3. Monosyllabic verbs ending on a stressed consonant:

As with the second rule, the last consonant is doubled here:

• get becomes getting
• swim becomes swimming
• fit becomes fitting

 

4. Verbs ending in “-ie”:

For this purpose, the “-ie” is replaced by a “-y” in the formation:

• lie becomes lying

 

Don’t get it twisted:

Both “would not” and “I would” are equated with “wouldn’t” or “I’d“.
