One of Cher's most famous songs is If I Could Turn Back
Time.  This song is a good resource to practice the 2nd
conditional.

It uses the structure:

IF    +    VERB (PAST)    +    MODAL     +    VERB (BASE)

Example:
If I could turn back time, I would + base verb


What would you do if you could turn back time?
Do you have any things you would like to change?

Cher sings about what she would and could do if she

Fill in the spaces with the correct words

If I could turn back time

If I could find a

I'd take back

those words that hurt you and you'd stay

I don't know why I did the things I did

I don't know why I said the things I said

Pride's like a it can cut deep inside

Words are like weapons they wound sometimes.

I didn't really mean to hurt you

I didn't wanna see you go

I know I made you cry, but baby

Chorus: If I could turn back time

If I could find a way

I'd take back those words that hurt you And you'd stay

If I could reach the stars

I'd give them all to you

Then you'd love me, love me

Like you used to do

If I could turn back time

My world was shattered I was apart

Like someone took a knife and drove it deep in my heart

You walked out that door I swore that I didn't care

But I lost darling then and there

Too strong to tell you I was sorry

Too to tell you I was wrong

I know that I was blind, and ooh...

Chorus...

Ooohh

If I could turn back time

If I could turn back time

If I could turn back time

ooh baby

I didn't really mean to hurt you

I didn't want to see you go

I know I made you cry

Ooohh

If I could turn back time

If I could find a way

I'd take back those words that hurt you

If I could reach the stars

I'd give them all to you

Then you'd love me, love me

Like you used to do

If I could turn back time (turn back time)

If I could find a way (find a way)

Then baby, maybe, maybe

You'd stay

Reach the stars

If I could reach the stars
