SECOND CONDITIONAL

SECOND CONDITIONAL

1. Use

   • We use the second conditional to talk about situations that are unreal in the present; therefore, we can describe them as imaginary and are unlikely to occur.
     • Structure
       • If + simple past + simple conditional ( or the modal verbs COULD and MIGHT )
         • If the verb of the subordinate clause is the verb "TO BE" we use "were" in all persons.
     • Examples
       • If i won the lottery, i would buy my dream house.
       • If i were taller, she would like me.
       • If you made movie, you could tell the story of your life.
       • If i had more money i would buy a bigger car.
   • It's also possible to use the second conditional to give advice.
   • It's used to talk about events that are unlikely to happen in the future.
