2nd Conditional Explanation and Practice

2nd conditional

We use the 2nd Conditional to speak hypothetically. Read the examples, and then try making your own sentences.

Notice that we use the Past Simple tense in the ‘if clause’, but here, it is the unreal past. It refers to the present or future, not the past at all.

Read each sentence and then the explanation for it (in the green box) before adding the words.
Once you are satisfied with your answers, put the remaining words in the ‘extra words’ box.
