Which form does a verb take to express a hypothetical situation?

Hypothetical sentences usually have an "if clause" and a "result clause". The "result clause" contains a modal auxiliary verb (would, could, should, etc.) and the verb in the "if clause" is usually in subjunctive form. Conditional (hypothetical) sentences can be confusing because they use past tense verbs to express present tense conditions.
- If I were you, I would rethink my actions.(Notice that "were" is not the typical singular first person conjugation of "to be".)
That sentence is hypothetical because it is not possible for "I" to be "you". The sentence is also present tense.
- If she were rich, she would travel the world.
Again, that sentence is hypothetical (contrary to fact). "She" is not rich. It expresses a wish, and it is also present tense.
