After this lesson, you...

• ... can associate the second conditional with 
  
• ... can correctly use the second conditional in a sentence.

Conditionals

• What is a "condition"?
  > You can come on one condition, and that is that you do your homework.
• Also called: "if"-sentences:
  > If we didn't have the internet, life would be really boring.
• Two sentences:
  "If"-sentence = condition
  main sentence = consequence
• A comma after the "if"-sentence (only if it comes first!)

Recap first conditional

= used in likely situations.
= "if" + present simple + will/won't + verb

> He will feel better if he stops smoking.

What is the condition here? And the consequence?

Second conditional

= used in unlikely situations.
= "if" + past simple + would/wouldn't + verb

> If I won the lottery, I would buy a big house.

What is the condition here? And the consequence?

Second conditional

> If he was a rich man, he would travel all over the world.

> If he were a rich man, he would travel all over the world.

What's the difference here?

Also:
> If [...], he'd travel all over the world.
What's the rule here, do you think?
