second conditional

second conditional

1. The second conditional, or present conditional, talks about things that could still happen, although the possibility of them happening seems remote

   • We use the second conditional for talk about situations that are unreal in the present
     • I will try to clarify it in the following examples:
       • 1. Real situation: I don't have much money -Unreal situation: If I had a lot of money, I would travel to 10 different countries
       • 2. Real situation: I am not the president of Colombia -Unreal situation: I would raise teachers ’salaries if I were the president of Colombia.
