Grammar: second conditional

To talk about situations which are imaginary, you can use this form: if + past simple in the first clause, followed by would + verb in the second clause.

This structure is sometimes called the second conditional form.

If my parents found out about my gambling, they’d be furious.

If anyone heard about Sam’s drinking habits, he’d lose his job.

It’s also possible to change the order of the clauses, in this way:

I would buy a new car if I had the money.

This would be a good restaurant if the staff were more polite.
