About This Resource
This B1–B2 resource develops the second conditional for hypothetical distance in present or future situations. It shows that the past form often signals remoteness rather than past time and compares second-conditional meaning with more open first-conditional possibilities.
What You’ll Learn
• Build second-conditional if-clauses with past forms.
• Use would/could/might + base verb for hypothetical results.
• Interpret past forms as modal distance rather than automatic past time.
• Contrast open first-conditional possibilities with more remote or imagined second-conditionals.
