When we make questions in the past and present simple, we normally use an auxiliary verb:
'What timedid you post the letter?'
When
the question word (what?, who?, which?, how many'?) is the subject of the verb
in the question, we do not use an auxiliary verb and the verb is in the
third person.
We use Second Conditional sentences to talk about an improbable/impossible or hypothetical future situation and its consequence.
