The Second Conditional

If + Simple Past, + Would + Verb


Would + Verb + If + Simple Past
We use the second conditional when talking about future events that are
not likely to happen. It refers to a hypothetical scenario and its probable
result. The if clause is in the simple past, and the main clause uses the
present conditional.
