If, would, might, must, should — the grammar English uses for possibility, obligation and regret, explained one step at a time.
Modals and conditionals are how English talks about things that are not simply true: what might happen, what should have happened, what you would do if. They also overlap constantly — the second conditional is a modal sentence, and hedging a statement means reaching for the same words. Learn them together and the overlap stops being confusing and starts doing the work for you.
