About this document
Understanding Second Conditional Usage by Ceren Açıkel is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document discusses the second conditional, also called the "if type 2". It is used to talk about unlikely or hypothetical situations in the present or future. There are four main uses: 1) to imagine different life situations, 2) to ask hypothetical questions, 3) to give advice, and 4) to give reasons why something cannot happen. The structure is "if + past tense, would/could + infinitive". Examples are provided for each usage.
