First conditional X Second conditional

First conditional X Second conditional

1. First conditional: it's used to talk about actions in the future that are likely to happen or that have a real possibility

   • The present situation must have: if + subject + verb (participle)
     • The future consequence must have: subject + will + verb (participle)
       • If you study hard, you'll pass all your exams
         • If you move to another country, what will you do?
           • If I invite you to my party, will you come?

2. Second conditional: it's used to talk about situations in the present or future that aren't likely to happen or that are imaginary, hypothetical or impossible

   • The structure is usually: if + past simple >> + would + verb (infinitive)
     • When "IF" is followed by the verb be, it's grammatically correct to say: if I were, if he were, if she were and if it were
       • If you can choose a country to live, what country would you choose?
         • If I can choose a country to live, I would choose the US
           • If you won a million dollars, how would you spend it?
