SECOND CONDITIONAL
(PRESENT UNREAL)

or the future.

If + Past Simple would / could / might + v.s.f.

[We always use a Simple Past form after “if”]

4. When we use ‘be’ in the if clause, we can use ‘were’
instead of ‘was’. We normally do this when we use the
phrase 'If I were you' to give advice.
If I were you, I wouldn't take the job.
We also use ‘were’ in this way in other sentences. This
normally sounds more formal, but some people consider
it more correct.
