💛all about second conditional
Second conditional sentences are useful for expressing outcomes that are completely unrealistic or will not likely happen in the future. Consider the example below:

✅If I inherited a billion dollars, I would travel to the moon.

❌the correct way to structure second conditional sentences is to use the simple past tense in the if-clause and an auxiliary modal verb (e.g., could, should, would, might) in the main clause (the one that expresses the unrealistic or unlikely outcome)

✅When applying the second conditional, use the simple past tense in the if-clause.
✅Use a modal auxiliary verb in the main clause when using the second conditional mood to express the unlikelihood that the result will actually happen.
