Specifically: 1) It is used to talk about possible future events that are not very likely to happen, such as saying "If I won the lottery, I would buy a big house". 2) It is used to talk about present situations that are impossible because they are untrue, like saying "If I had his number, I would call him" when the speaker does not actually have the number. 3) Examples are provided to illustrate forming conditional sentences using "if" clauses with the past simple tense and "would" in the main

    The Second Conditional

    The second conditional uses the past simple after if, then 'would' and the infinitive:

    if + past simple, ...would + infinitive

    (We can use 'were' instead of 'was' with 'I' and 'he/she/it'. This is mostly done in formal
    writing).

    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)
    If I met the Queen of England, I would say hello.
    She would travel all over the world if she were rich.
    She would pass the exam if she ever studied.(She never studies, so this won't
    happen)

    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).
    If I were you, I wouldn't go out with that man.

    I. Complete the Conditional Sentences (Type II) by putting the verbs into the correct
    form. Use conditional I with would in the main clause.

    1. If we (have) had a yacht, we (sail) would sail the seven seas.


    2. If he (have) _____________more time, he (learn) _________________karate.
    3. If they (tell) ___________their father, he (be) ___________very angry.
    4. She (spend) __________a year in the USA if it (be) _________easier to get a green
    card.
    5. If I (live) _________on a lonely island, I (run) __________around naked all day.
    6. We (help) __________you if we (know) _____________how.
    7. My brother (buy) ___________a sports car if he (have) ____________the money.
    8. If I (feel) ____________better, I (go) _____________to the cinema with you.
    9. If you (go) ___________by bike more often, you (be / not) ____________so flabby.
    10. She (not / talk) ____________to you if she (be) ___________mad at you.
