and second conditionals
We use the first conditional to talk about possible situations, things that may easily happen. We use the second conditional to talk about unrealistic
situations.
Sometimes we use either the first or second conditional, and we use one or the other depending on how probable we think the situations are to happen.
• If I find her, I’ll tell her that I love her. (=I think it’s possible that I find her)
• If I found her, I’d tell her that I love her. (=I think it’s improbable that I find her)
