When working with the second conditional just think about doing something hypothetically in the time period around now. For example
if I went to the gym then I would get stronger. It is a little confusing because you use 'if' with the PAST to express something hypothetical and in the present.
Basically it is like saying something you could do now and what would happen. Another example of the second conditional. If I saved 100 Euros a month I would be able to buy a house. But enough with the theory, listen to the song and read along. :)
