The second conditional uses the past simple after if, then ‘would’ and the infinitive:
- Example: if + past simple, …would + infinitive
When do you use the second conditional?
Typically it is use to talk about things in the future that will probably not happen.
For example:
- If I won the lottery, I would travel the world
- If I played hockey as a kid, I would have made it to the NHL
Also, we can use it to talk about something in the present that seems impossible.
For example:
- If I were you, I would go to the gym more.
- If I had a gym membership, I would go to the gym everyday!
The difference between these two examples is that in the second examples these sentences are a lot more unlikely to actually happen.
