Comentário do professor
A sentença utiliza a segunda condicional, usada para hipóteses irreais ou improváveis no presente e seu resultado provável.
Estruturalmente apresenta if + passado simples na oração condicional (weren’t) e would + verbo na oração de resultado (would be doing), formando a combinação típica da condicional 2.
Semânticamente, o uso do passado não indica tempo passado, mas marca uma situação contrária à realidade atual: o falante imagina uma condição hipotética. O would be doing indica o resultado provável ou a ação contínua que ocorreria nessa hipótese.
Ex.: If you weren’t a Viking Raider, what would you be doing? = se você não fosse um viking, o que provavelmente estaria fazendo agora?
