There are 3 different kinds of si clauses:
1. First conditional – likely situations – present + present, future, and commands (grammar essential # 140) 2. Second conditional – unlikely situations– currently contrary – imperfect (past) subjunctive + conditional 3. Third conditional – impossible situations – pluperfect subjunctive + pluperfect subjunctive or conditional

Si clause type 2 Unlikely or currently contrary situations
The situation described is not currently true, but the if the situation changes, the result clause would be able to occur.

Si clause type 2 The si clause requires past subjunctive (sometimes called imperfect subjunctive) and the independent clause is in the conditional tense. Order of the dependent and independent clause is unimportant.
