Exercise : Grammar in Context:

SECOND CONDITIONAL

Definition:

-We use conditional sentences for stating future action depending on the result of another future action or event. 

Example: If I won the lottery, I would stop working.

-We use conditional sentences stating imaginary present action where the condition for the action are not satisfied.

Example: If you phoned home more often, they wouldn't worry about it.

CONTRACTIONS: Would and Had are contracted to 'd; but we can distinguish them becaus "would" is always followed by Base Form, and had as an Auxiliary Verb, is followed by Past Participle.

Example: - I'd tell her. Tell is the Base Form, so it mean I would tell her.
