Grammar reminder

The second conditional is used to discuss present and future hypothetical (or "unreal")
situations. You can learn more about the second conditional here.

Typically, the second conditional uses the following structure:


"If" clause + result clause
If + subject + past simple + would (not)/could (not)/might (not) + bare infinitive

These two clauses can be inverted, and the "if" clause can sometimes be implied, meaning
you don't need to directly mention it in some second conditional cases. In short, there are
many ways to form second conditional questions and answers, which you will see in the
questions below.

Okay, let's start using the second conditional in conversational situations.
