After watching the video we have learnt that: 1- The second conditional sentence is used to talk about hypothetical / imaginary present or future situations and its consecuences. 2- We need a past simple in the first part and a 'would' + bare infinitive in the second part. If I had more money, I would buy a new car' We can also use 'could' in the second part: If I had more money, I could buy a new car

Note: - Afer 'if' we can use 'was' or 'were' with the pronouns: I, he or she. 'Were' is more formal: If he was/were richer, he could buy a bigger penthouse.
