Second conditional

Second conditional

1. Would

   • Past Simple
     • They would do they homework
       • I would not lend him the money
         • You would fall in love with her too

2. If

   • do (basic form)
     • If they had more time
       • If I were to
         • if you knew her

3. If X happened, Y would happen. These sentences describe what the speaker thinks would happen in an imaginary situation. Ex.: If you were in Venus, you would see the sun rise in the west

   • IF PAST SIMPLE + WOULD +VERB (BASE FORM)
     • The past simple tense we use in an If- clause does not describe past time, but unreal time. We use also might or could in place of would
