What’s the difference between the first conditional and the second conditional?

First conditional is used when we are talking about real, possible situations.

For example, if it rains, I will get wet. Or I will watch a movie tonight if I finish my work in time.

We use “if” and “will” with the first conditional.

Second conditional is used when we are talking about unreal, impossible situations.

For example, if I were a bird I would fly to Okinawa.

Or I would buy a Ferrari if I won the lottery.

We use “if” and “would” with the second conditional.

If you won the lottery, what would you buy?
