Answer 2

Answer:

If I could afford it, I would buy myself a new car.

Explanation:

• When we learn the English language, it is needed to understand how verbs are used in grammar.

• A modal verb is a special verb that is different from normal verbs.

• They can't stand alone and are always followed by a principal verb.

• They provide additional information about the principal verb. They are alluded to express certainty, possibility, willingness, obligation, necessity, and ability.

• English grammar is composed of around ten main modal verbs and they are: Will, Would, Should, Ought to, Could, May, Can, Shall, Must, Might, and Would.

• The modal verb ‘would’ indicates a conditional/ condition, and is used in the past tense.

• We can say it is possible that the action will take place, but another condition has to be met. (the occurrence depends on other conditions)

• The phrase carrying the modal verb will be followed by a connective such as ‘if’. For example, If I had the money, I would pay her fees.

Therefore, the correct modal to be filled in the blank is "would".

i.e. If I could afford it, I would buy myself a new car.
