UNIT 3- SECOND AND THIRD CONDITIONAL

The second conditional, also known as type 2 unreal conditional, is used to talk about hypothetical situations in the present or future that are unlikely or impossible. It is formed using the past simple in the if-clause and "would" + infinitive verb (without "to") in the result clause.

4. If I had more free time, I would dedicate myself to learning to play a musical instrument.
5. If I had more time, I would travel around the world.

The third conditional, or type 3 unreal conditional, is used to talk about hypothetical situations in the past that did not happen. It is formed using the past perfect in the if-clause and "would

have" + past participle in the result clause.
