Respuesta:
Como ocurre con todas las oraciones condicionales, el orden de las proposiciones no es fijo. Es posible que sea necesario modificar los pronombres y la puntuación al cambiar el orden de las cláusulas pero el significado de la oración sigue siendo el mismo.
Ejemplos
If it rained, you would get wet.
You would get wet if it rained.
If you went to bed earlier you wouldn't be so tired.
You wouldn't be so tired if you went to bed earlier.
If she fell, she would hurt herself.
She would hurt herself if she fell.
Funciones
El "type 2 conditional" sirve para hacer referencia a una condición hipotética o poco probable y a su resultado probable. Estas oraciones no aluden a una situación real. En las oraciones condicionales de tipo 2, el marco temporal es ahora o en cualquier momento y la situación es hipotética.
Ejemplos
If the weather wasn't so bad, we would go to the park. (Pero hace mal tiempo, así que no podemos ir.)
If I was the Queen of England, I would give everyone a chicken. (Pero no soy la Reina.)
If you really loved me, you would buy me a diamond ring.
If I knew where she lived, I would go and see her.
Con el verbo "to be", es correcto y además muy habitual decir "if I were" en lugar de "if I was".
Ejemplos
If I were taller, I would buy this dress.
If I were 20, I would travel the world.
If I were you, I would give up smoking.
If I were a plant, I would love the rain.
En las oraciones condicionales de tipo 2 también pueden emplearse los modales en la proposición principal para expresar el grado de certeza, permiso o una recomendación sobre el resultado.
Ejemplos
We might buy a larger house if we had more money
He could go to the concert if you gave him your ticket.
If he called me, I couldn't hear.
