Second Conditional

1. We are thinking about a particular condition in the future, and the result of this condition

   • But there is not a real possibility that this condition will happen
     • For example, you do not have a lottery ticket. Is it possible to win? No! No lottery ticket, no win!

2. Condition

   • Past Simple
     • If I won the lottery,
   • Result
     • would + base verb
     • I would buy a car.

3. We use the Past Simple tense to talk about the future condition. We use would + base verb to talk about the future result

4. The important thing about the second conditional is that there is an unreal possibility that the condition will happen
