 Key Points

PAST REAL CONDITIONAL

USE

The past real conditional describes what you used

to do in particular real-life situations. It suggests that
your habits have changed and you do not usually do these
things today.
FORM

[If/When. . . simple past . . ., . . . simple past . . .]

[. . . simple past . . . if/when. . . simple past. . .]

EXAMPLE:

 When I was a kid, I listened to nursery rhymes. Now, I listen to K-Pop songs.
simple past simple past
 If I went to a friend’s house, I usually took some food in the fridge. I don’t do
that anymore.
 I usually stayed at home when it rained.
 I used to buy toys when I had more allowance.
 When I visited my grandparents, I used to hug them tight.

Note:

The if-clause contains the condition:

If the weather was nice. . .

and the main clause contains the result of that condition:

. . . he often rode his bike.

When should you use “if” and “when” to give the condition?

We use “if” when something rarely happened, and we use “when” when
something happened regularly. So, they only differ in the frequency of occurrence.
Example: When I visited my grandparents, I used to hug them tight.
