Bsp. 1: If Marlon's parents weren‘t dead, Marlon would not live alone in the streets. Marlon‘s Eltern sind tot. Die Bedingung (sie sind nicht tot) ist somit nicht erfüllbar und man stellt sie sich nur vor (was wäre, wenn…)

Bsp.3: If Toby and Kevin ate healthier food, they would lose weight. Toby und Kevin essen gerade sehr viel ungesundes Essen. Die Bedingung ist daher eher nicht erfüllbar. (was wäre aber, wenn sie gesünder essen würden?)
