IF CLAUSE -- TYPE 2

We often have imagination/expectation in our life that is contrary to
the fact in front of us. For example: If I'm rich I will....., If I get a good
mark I will....If I meet my idol I will....., etc. To express those all, we
can use the following formula if there is impossibility to
bring them into reality.

Type 1:
    IF CLAUSE                                EXPECTATION
    If, simple past                               -> past future
          1. (+)verb 2 (past)                  (+) would + V1  / be
               (-) didn't + V1                   (-) would not       (Adj, Adv, N)   
          2. (+) were (Adj, Adv, N)
               (-) were not
    i.g:
    If I had money, I would treat you meatball   
   (Jika aku punya uang, Aku akan mentraktir kamu bakso)
    This sentence shows the fact: "I don't have money, I don't
                                                  treat you meatball"
    (kalimat ini menunjukkan kenyataan Aku tidak punya uang
                                                 aku tidak mentraktir kamu
                                                 bakso) 
Conclusion:
If the fact is in positive form (+) ->  if clause is in negative form
i.g:
I get a punishment                    - >  If I didn't get a punishment
I am a student                          ->   If I were not a student
or
If the fact is in negative form (-) ->  if clause is in positive form

i.g:
I don't have money                   ->  If I had money
She doesn't look at me             ->  If She looked at me
       
and for the expectation,
If the fact is in positive form (+) ->  Expectation is in negative form

i.g:
He takes me home by bus       - > He would not take me home
                                                     by bus
I am angry with him                 - > I would not be angry with him
or

If the fact is in negative form (-) -> Expectation is in positive form

i.g:
He doesn't take  me home by taxi ->  He would take me home by taxi
They are not tired soon            ->  They would be tired soon
