II. PRESENTATION
1. Vocabulary

2. Grammar: second conditional
- talks about things which are unreal (not true or not possible) at the present or in the future
- contains of if clause (past simple) and main clause (would/could/might + bare infinitive)
E.g. If I were a princess, I would live in a palace.
-> I am not a princess -> unreal
-> I won’t live in a palace -> impossible
NOTES
- If clause: to be -> were
E.g. If today were Monday, I would be in class now.
 - Main clause: could/ might can also be used instead of would
E.g. If I won the lottery, I could/might travel to South Africa to enjoy the World Cup.
- If clause can come before or after main clause.
E.g. If I were you, I would try my best.
I would try my best if I were you.
