Second Conditional

Second Conditional-

the first conditional is with

'if' + 'present simple'+ will + base verb

e.g.

If it rains I will take an umbrella

the Second Conditional is similar-

if + past simple + would + base verb

NB would like = io vorrei..

it is a more polite form of 'I want'

e.g. I would like a chocolate ice-cream

if it rained

past simple

I would take an umbrella

si usa il 2nd conditional per una situazione ipotetica.
