Present and future situations: conditionals 3

Second Conditional:
If I had a pair of wings I could fly.

The Second Conditional is used to talk about 'impossible' situations, in the present or in the future.

If + past simple, would/might/could + infinitive

Examples:

• If I had millions dollars, I'd give a lot to charity.
• If I won the lottery I would build an eco-sustainable village.

 If + were to, infinitive makes the event seem more unlikely


If you were to walk another hundreds kilometres in that direction, you would eventually get to Berlin.

More examples:

• If I had the chance to do it again, I would do it differently.
• If they were thinking of selling, I would want to buy.
• If my team won the Cup, I'd buy champagne for everybody.
