The document discusses the 2nd conditional, which expresses hypothetical or unlikely situations. It is used to talk about the possible consequence of an imagined condition in the present or future. The condition clause uses "if" plus the past simple tense, while the result clause usually uses "would" or the contraction "'d." It can also use "could" in the result clause. For advice, "were" is used instead of "was" with "I." Negation can be used in either clause. Questions invert the subject and "would."
