Second conditional

1. Speaks about not probable events in the future

   • Its structure is:
     • If+ Past Simple, Present Conditional (would+ Infinitive )
     • For example:
       • If I had permission,I would go out with my friends

         • We use the second conditional to talk about improbable or unreal situations in the present
           • We can change the order of the sentence without altering the meaning
             • We can use the word could instead of would
   • It is also used to give advice
     • If I were you, I would buy that house
