a. We use the second conditional to describe an unreal or imaginary situation and its result.

(Chúng ta dùng câu điều kiện loại 2 để mô tả những sự kiện không có thật hoặc tưởng tượng ra và kết quả của chúng.)

If shops didn't exist (imaginary situation), we would buy (result) everything online.

(Nếu các cửa hàng không tồn tại (tình huống tưởng tượng), chúng ta sẽ mua (kết quả) mọi thứ trên mạng.)

We use the (1) past simple in the if clause and we use (2) would + (3) infinite in the main clause.

(Chúng ta sử dụng thì quá khứ đơn trong mệnh đề if và dùng would + nguyên mẫu không to trong mệnh đề chính.)

b. We can put the main clause first. In this case, we don't need the comma.

(Ta có thể để mệnh đề chính lên trước. Trong trường hợp này, ta không cần dấu phẩy.)

I'd buy you a present if I had enough money.

(Tôi sẽ mua cho cậu một món quà nếu tôi có đủ tiền.)

c. We use could to mean would + be able to. It is also the past simple of can.

(Ta dùng could với nghĩa là would + be able to. Nó cũng là thể quá khứ đơn của can.)

If I won the lottery, I could stop work.

(Nếu tôi thắng xổ số, tôi có thể nghỉ việc.)

If she could speak English, she'd get a job in the USA.

(Nếu cô ấy có thể nói tiếng Anh, cô ấy có thể có việc ở Mỹ.)

The world would be much better if money didn’t exist.

If money didn’t exist, how would you buy things?

If you needed something, you would make it.

If you couldn’t make it, you would swap with somebody else.

So if I wanted a new mobile phone, how would I get it?

If money didn’t exist, life wouldn’t be better for poor people.

If nobody had any money, everybody would be equal.

Alfie: This is an amazing place. I wish I lived here.

Macy: Me too. If only I were a member of the Howard family!

Alfie: But if it were my house, I wouldn't allow people to visit.

Macy: That's mean! You'd get bored on your own.

Alfie: Oh, I'd let my friends visit, of course. But not the public.

Macy: If you had a party, you could invite hundreds of people!

Alfie: I know. The parties would be better if I made a few changes, though.

Macy: What kinds of changes?

Alfie: Well, if those trees weren't there, there'd be room for a swimming pool!

Macy: You could make some changes inside as well. I mean, look at this corridor.

Alfie: The Antique Passage, you mean?
