Second Conditional explanation and exercises

The second conditional (also called conditional type 2) is a structure used for talking about unreal situations in the present or in the future.


The structure of a second conditional sentence
Like a first conditional, a second conditional sentence consists of two clauses, an "if" clause and a main clause:



If I had a million dollars,
I would buy a big house

If the "if" clause comes first, a comma is usually used. If the "if" clause comes second, there is no need for a comma:

I would buy a big house if I had a million dollars.

In the case of the verb BE. Whatever the subject, the verb form is "were", not "was": If I were rich, I'd buy a big house.
