CONDITIONALS

1. Conditionals are used to speculate about what might happen, what might have happened, and what we would like to see happen.

   • Second conditional
     • The "type 2 conditional" is used to refer to a time that can be now or at any time and to a situation that is not real. In these sentences, the "if" proposition adopts the "simple past" and the main clause the "present conditional".
     • (Past simple/Present continous conditional)
