Use

Note:

Use if + past to talk about an imaginary or hypothetical future situation

and would / wouldn't + verb to talk about the consequence

We can use it to talk about things in the future that are probably not going to betrue. Maybe I'm imagining some dream.

Second, we can use it to talk about something in the present which is impossible, because it's not true

The if - clause can come first or second. If the if - clause comes first, we usually put a comma before the next clause.

You can also use could + infinitive instead of would + infinitive in the other clause.

With the verb be you can use were (instead of was) after I / he / she / it e.g

Examples: If a bull attacked me, I'd run away

If I were you , I would'nt take that job

If I had money, I'd buy a house

We often use this expression for advice, e.g. If I were you
