We use the second conditional to talk about hypothetical or imaginary situations in the present or future.
In the if-clause we use simple past or past continuous.
In the other clause (consequence/result), we can use would, could or might.
For the verb be we usually start our sentence with If + subject + were
For examples:
If I were rich, I’d buy a Ferrari
If he were/ was rich, he’d buy a Porsche.
When we want to give advice, we always use If I were …
Examples:
If I were you, I wouldn’t go there.
If I were you, I’d travel to Brazil instead of Australia.
