1 Use if + past to talk about an imaginary or hypothetical future situation and
would / wouldn’t + verb to talk about the consequence.
• would / wouldn’t is the same for all persons.
• Contractions: ’d = would (I’d, you’d, he’d, etc.
); wouldn’t = would not.
2 The if-clause can come first or second.
If the if-clause comes first, we
usually put a comma before the next clause.
3 You can also use could + infinitive instead of would + infinitive in the other
clause.
