Second Conditional

Second Conditional

1. We use the second conditional to talk about something that is impossible or something that is unlikely in the present or the future

2. We also use the second conditional to give advice, usually with if I were you

3. We use the simple past in the if cause, and would + a main verb in the main clause

4. We can also use a modal verb instead of would in the main clause

5. We can use were instead of was in the if cause
