Se usa el SECOND CONDITIONAL para hablar de situaciones hipotéticas del presente. Se expresa una situación improbable o imaginaria.
He juntado unas canciones del segundo condicional en una lista de reproducción en YouTube. Recomiendo que leas primera esta lección de gramática y después escuches las canciones mientras que lees las letras. Una vez que entiendas las canciones deja de leer la letra y ¡canta a tu ritmo!
Ejemplo del Second Conditional:
If I had a million dollars, I would travel the world.
La Estructura del Second Conditional
Los condicionales están hechos de dos partes: la condición y el resultado.
La condición es la cláusula con IF.
El resultado es la cláusula con WOULD.
Would… if + pasado
Ejemplos:
I would be happy if you were here. (Estaría feliz si estuvieras aquí.)
I would score better grades if I studied more. (Sacaría mejores notas si estudiará más.)
If + pasado…, would…
Ejemplos:
If you were here, I would be happy. (Si estuvieras aquí estaría feliz.)
If I studied more, I would score better grades. (Si estudiará más sacaría mejores notas.)
¿Se usa COMA en el Condicional?
Sí, se usa coma pero solamente si el condicional empieza con IF.
Ejemplos:
If I lost my job, my wife would be angry. (Si perdiera mi trabajo, mi esposa se enojaría.) Ya que esta oración del condicional empieza con IF separamos las dos partes con una coma.
My wife would be angry if I lost my job. (Mi esposa se enojaría si perdiera mi trabajo.) No se pone coma en esta oración porque no empieza con IF.
El Second Conditional con el Verbo TO BE
Se puede usar WERE o WAS con IF para formar el Second Conditional. Es más común y formal usar WERE con IF en el Second Conditional.
Ejemplos:
Persona Singular
If I was/were you, I wouldn’t say that! (¡Si fuera tú no diría eso!)
If she wasn’t/weren’t sick, she would sing tonight. (Si ella no estuviera enferma cantaría esta noche.)
Persona Plural
If they were at home, they would answer the door. (Si estuvieron en casa contestarían la puerta.)

[..YouTube..] En relación al comentario de Jéssica sobre el vocabulario de la serie española “la que se avecina” y a lo “mal” que se habla en España, yo como español, digo que tiene mucha razón en cuanto a esa tendencia actual de magnificar el argot callejero a un nivel de normalidad cotidiana que en realidad no le corresponde y con el que yo personalmente no estoy de acuerdo. Por cierto que esta tendencia también la he percibido en películas y series norteamericanas recientes.

Aunque no tengas mucho tiempo puedes hacer cosas importantes como: pensar en inglés y en voz alta cuando estés solo, escuchar música en inglés, y ver una que otra lección de SELVA Inglés de vez en cuando. Seguro te ayudará mucho.

[..YouTube..] Here’s an example:
“Is she wasn’t tired, she would help us, wouldn’t she?”
“She would help us if she wasn’t tired, wouldn’t she?”
Good question! It’s a shame I didn’t think about question tags when I made the lesson!
[..YouTube..] Here’s an example:

[..YouTube..] Thanks a lot Jessica! i’ll be waiting for this lesson 😀
[..YouTube..] thank you for your answer. Here’s my help:
I would spend more time studying English if I had more time.
[..YouTube..] Megaupload down = BIG bummer! 🙁
[..YouTube..] You’re almost there.
“If I had more time, I would study more English.”
“Si tuviera más tiempo, estudiaría más inglés.”
[..YouTube..] Great example! 🙂
[..YouTube..] 🙂 You are right: You don’t need more time to be a better person. 🙂
As for your answer:
If I had more time, I would study English every day. (remember to capitalize English and include a comma)
Great work!
[..YouTube..] You’re answer is great. The only thing I’d change would be the “at anytime.” I would take it off.
“If I had more time, I would study English.”
[..YouTube..] Thanks! Remember in English you must say WHAT you like.
No se puede decir solamente “I like”. Hay que terminar la oración. Por ejemplo, “I like it.” “I like this video.” “I like this lesson.” 🙂
Thank you so much for your comment! 🙂
[..YouTube..] 🙂 Thank you!
[..YouTube..] Grammatically perfect! 🙂 But I think the phrase you want to say is “I would hang out with my friends.”
“I I had more time, I would hang out with my friends.”
