Verschil tussen 1st and 2nd conditional:

First conditional: If I have enough money, I'll buy some new shoes.

De kans dat je dit zegt en genoeg geld bij elkaar weet te sparen is groot of groter dan bij de second conditional.

Second conditional: If I had enough money I would buy a house with twenty bedrooms and a swimming pool.
