The document discusses the second and third conditional tenses in English. The second conditional describes impossible future situations using the past simple tense for the if-clause and "would" plus the base verb for the result. The third conditional talks about conditions and their results in the past that did not happen, using the past perfect tense for the if-clause and "would have" plus the past participle for the result. Both conditionals discuss conditional sentences that cannot or did not happen.
