conditional sentence type 2 用法
我什麼時候應該使用第二個條件？
我們使用第二個條件來談論想像的或不太可能的情況的結果，也表示描述的情況會發生的可能性蠻低。
Conditional sentence 2 example：
If your dog said ‘miaow’, you’d be very surprised.
如果你的狗說“miaow”，你會非常驚訝。
這句話背後的含義就是狗不太可能會miaow miaow 叫。
（除非去哆啦a夢的顛倒世界）
還有很多例子：
If I was rich, I would travel all the time.
如果我有錢，我會一直旅行。
（暗示：我不太可能有錢）
She’d enjoy herself much more if she had a hobby.
如果她有愛好，她會更享受自己。

如果我是你，我會努力存更多的錢。
（暗示：我不太可能是你）
I’d behave better if I were Nathan.
如果我是Nathan，我會表現得更好。
（暗示：我不太可能是Nathan）
