SEGUNDO CONDICIONAL
Past simple + Would verb
for unreal possibility

The second conditional is like the first conditional. We are still thinking about the
future. We are thinking about a particular condition in the future, and the result of this
condition. But there is not a real possibility that this condition will happen. For
example, you do not have a lottery ticket. Is it possible to win? No! No lottery ticket, no
win! But maybe you will buy a lottery ticket in the future. So you can think about
winning in the future, like a dream. It's not very real, but it's still possible.
IMAGINARY CONDITIONS, IMAGINARY RESULT.
