USE
The Present Unreal Conditional is used to talk about what you would generally do in imaginary situations.
Examples:
If I owned a car, I would drive to work. But I don’t own a car.
She would travel around the world if she had more money. But she doesn’t have much money.
I would read more if I didn’t watch so much TV.
Mary would move to Japan if she spoke Japanese.
If they worked harder, they would earn more money.

Exceptional Rule=>
●●●
In the Present Unreal Conditional, the form “was” is not considered grammatically correct. In written English or in testing situations, you should always use “were.” However, in everyday conversation, “was” is often used.
जब वाक्य में कोरी कल्पना और अवास्तविक घटना का उल्लेख हो तो were का प्रयोग होगा ।
Examples:
If he were French, he would live in Paris.
If she were rich, she would buy a yacht.
I would play basketball if I were taller.
I would buy that computer if it were cheaper.

EXCEPTION Conditional with Modal Verbs
There are some special conditional forms for modal verbs in English:
would + can = could
would + shall = should
would + may = might
The words “can,” “shall” and “may” cannot be used with “would.” Instead, they must be used in these special forms.
Examples:
If I went to Egypt, I could learn Arabic.
If she had time, she might go to the party.
<=●●●=>
The words “could,” should,” “might” and “ought to” include conditional, so you cannot combine them with “would.”
Examples:
If I had more time, I could exercise after work.
If he invited you, you really should go.
