Introduction
Hi friends, let's check the Second Conditional
Process
1. Read the information below.
2. Watch the video on conclusion section
3. Print and complete the exercises on evaluation section.
The second conditional uses the past simple after if, then 'would' and the infinitive:
- if + past simple, ...would + infinitive
It has two uses.
First, we can use it to talk about things in the future that are probably not going to be true. Maybe I'm imagining some dream for example.
- If I won the lottery, I would buy a big house.(I probably won't win the lottery)
Second, we can use it to talk about something in the present which is impossible, because it's not true. Is that clear? Have a look at the examples:
- If I had his number, I would call him. (I don't have his number now, so it's impossible for me to call him)
