Heyo,
Yesterday we talked and explained the second conditional. We said when to use it, what is its structure and we showed a ppt from slideshare to give you some food for thought.
Today, as we did with the first conditional, I am going to show you some videos and examples for illustrating better the second conditional, so you can do some homework afterwards.
Nevertheless, to begin with I would like to specify something. When we stated the structure of the second conditional, we said the result clause needed to be made with the conditional tense using would. However, you can also use "might, may or could", as the videos you are going to watch now will say.
For example:
If he ate healthy food, he could lose weight.
In this case, the result clause "he could lose weight" is made using the modal verb "could" plus the infinitive of the main verb, "lose".
For understanding better these examples, please have a look at these two videos with their credit:
