Second Conditional = Present/Future Unreal Conditional

If you lived in space, you would have some problems.
if + [past without “was”], subj. + would/could/might + base form
If I were you, I would call them. (informal: “If I was you, …”)
If it were raining, I wouldn’t go hiking. (past continuous)
If I could speak Arabic, I would travel to Morocco. (“could” is the past of “can”)

If I could speak Arabic, I could travel to Morocco by myself. (“could” also means “would be able to”)
If I could speak Arabic, I might travel to Morocco. (“might” means something like “maybe would”)

We can also switch the order:
I would travel to Morocco if I could speak Arabic.
(We don’t use a comma when “if” is in the middle of the sentence.)

p. 125 - Are you good at giving advice? About what? What things do you often ask for advice about?

clearly, naturally, obviously, of course - when you know that the reader already knows this

in fact, to be honest, actually - when you think the other person might not expect this

Before I forget, Incidentally, By the way - when you want to mention something about a different subject

Anyway, Well, So - when you return to and conclude the original topic or question

All the same, Even so, However - when you want to contrast something with the previous idea
The thing is - when you want to be 100% clear that this is the main issue (especially when there’s a problem)
---
Homework: Write an email to a “friend” to ask advice about trying an extreme sport or traveling to Mars. Then write a response to this email.
Also read p. 135 and do p. 134 parts 3 and 4
