Normally Conditional sentences have two parts (clauses).
One part (clause) which usually starts with “if” gives a condition, the other part gives us a result
if that condition is true.
Example:
If it rained (conditional clause) I would take an umbrella (result clause)
There can be real and unreal conditions, possible and impossible conditions.

The Real conditionals are classified into:

Zero Conditional – If you heat water to 100º, it boils
First (1st) Conditionals – If it’s a nice day, I will go to the beach
These are real conditionals because if the conditional clause is met the result is certain. Go to
First conditionals and real conditionals here.

The Unreal conditionals are classified into:
Second conditionals – If I had more money, I would change my car. (I don’t have more money so
I can’t change my car)
Third Conditionals – If Mary had studied harder she would have passed her exams ……… (she
didn’t study hard enough so she didn’t pass her exams.)
These are unreal conditionals because they refer to situations that are untrue, impossible or
hypothetical. The third conditional for example refers to a situation that is past and is
impossible to change.

The Second Conditional is used for unreal conditional sentences

Second Conditional sentences refer to present or future time and use this form:
If + subject + past + complement, subject + would (‘d) + verb + complement OR
Subject + would (‘d) + verb + complement if + subject + past + complement.
NOTE: the verb is a past form but not does NOT refer to past time. The past verb is used to give
a sense of unreality, a hypothetical situation for the present or future times. 1

If I were rich, I’d take four long holidays a year. / I’d take four long holidays a year if I were rich. (Reality=
I’m not rich, so I can’t take four long holidays a year)
If your father were here now, he’d show you how to repair your bike. / Your father would show you
how to repair your bike if he were here now. (Reality= He isn’t here now, so he can’t show you how to
repair it)
If I won a big prize on the lottery, I’d buy a big house. /I’d buy a big house if I won a big prize on the
lottery. (Reality= It’s improbable that I will win a big prize on the lottery, so I can’t buy a big house)
