This document discusses the second conditional, which is used to talk about unreal or hypothetical situations. It provides examples of sentences using the second conditional structure of "if + past simple, would + verb". Some key points made are: - The second conditional uses past tense verbs to talk about unlikely or imaginary situations. - Examples given include "If I were rich, I would travel around the world" and "I would buy a new house if I won the lottery." - It explains that the if-clause can come first or second in a sentence without changing the meaning.

SECOND CONDITIONAL
1. If I won the lottery, I would buy a new house.
PAST SIMPLE Subject + would + verb
2. I would buy a new house if I won the lottery.
PAST SIMPLESubject + would + verb

4. We use unreal conditionals in English to talk about:
A situation that is not real, but that we imagine . . .
 If I had a million dollars, I would buy a big house.
 If I lived in Italy, I would invite you.
 If I got a job as a chef, I would cook delicious meals.
• I am not millionaire.
• I live in Colombia.
• I am a teacher.
Are these real situations?
No! These are imaginary situations.

5. How do we make this type of conditional grammar?
1. If my friend asked me for money, I would lend it to her.
2. Tomas would be happier if he got a less stressful job.
3. Speaking in English would be easier if you practiced more frequently.
After the IF, use SIMPLE PAST tense and in the
other clause, use WOULD + VERB.

6. Notice that you can start these sentences with the If-clause or with the Result:
If Marta moved abroad, she would learn another language.
or
Marta would learn another language if she moved abroad.
