Second conditionals Choose the correct words/phrases in these rules. • We use the second conditional to talk about real/imaginary situations. • The second conditional talks about the present or future/the past. • In the if clause/main clause we use the Past Simple. • In the if clause/main clause we use would, ´d, wouldn´t + infinitve.
