Using second conditional in writing, thanks!

[atacrossroads]

Hi teachers of English,

When elaborating on ideas using second conditional in writing, are students free to use other tenses or they have to use "would +" all the way through? Feel free to ask if I haven't made myself clear on this and apologies for that. Many thanks.

Kind regards,

I am not sure what you mean by other 'tenses'; you can certainly use other modals:

If I won the lottery I would go to China and Japan, and I might go to Thailand. If I thought of other interesting places, I could afford to go anywhere in the world.
