2nd and 3rd Conditionals challenge.

Question

A while ago I was trying to get my head around the 2nd and 3rd conditionals in Spanish. Heidita was kind enough to provide the following examples.

Second conditional: (Unreal siuation in the present)

If I had one million dollars, I'd give a lot to charity.

Si tuviera un millon de dolares destinaria mucho a obras de caridad.

Third conditional: (Unreal situation in the past)

If I had had one million dollars, I'd have given a lot to charity.

Si hubiera tenido un millon de dolares habría destinado mucho a obras de caridad.

Podemos tratar crear unos ejemplares?

Answer 1

Si + verbo en imperfecto de subjunctivo + verbo en condicional .

If I had a house with a garden, I would have a dog.
