First and Second Conditionals: Talking About Real and Imaginary Situations

This exercise will help you practise both the first and second conditionals — grammar structures we use to talk about real possibilities and imaginary situations. You’ll work with sentences like “If I study, I will pass” and “If I were…”, “If he had…”, choosing the correct verb forms like would go, might see, or could win. Improve your fluency when talking about plans, dreams, advice, and possible outcomes.
