    The document discusses the use of the conditional "if" to talk about hypothetical or imaginary situations in the present. It provides the examples "If I studied harder, I would pass my exams" and "If I were you, I would study more" to illustrate using the conditional to discuss possibilities rather than realities. It notes that the conditional takes the form of "if + v2/ed, would + v. base".
