Drag the correct verbs to help the broke college student complete his daydream journal entry.

I only have two dollars in my bank account. If I won the lottery tomorrow, I would buy a private island. However, if my roommate found out about the money, he would ask me to pay his half of the rent!

I only have two dollars in my bank account. If I won the lottery tomorrow, I would buy a private island.

In the second conditional, we use the past simple tense in the "if" clause to talk about an unreal or highly unlikely situation in the present or future. The result clause uses would + base verb.

However, if my roommate found out about the money, he would ask me to pay his half of the rent!

Again, we use the past simple (found) for the hypothetical condition, and would + base verb (would ask) for the imaginary result.
