The second conditional is used to talk about improbable or imaginary situations and their consequences. It consists of an "if" clause with an event that is unlikely to happen, followed by a main clause describing the result. Verb tenses differ between clauses, with the if-clause using the past tense and the main clause using the conditional or "would". The second conditional allows discussing potential outcomes of unlikely scenarios.
