Can you help me in which tense is the following sentence:
I would buy you the tickets if you gave me the money
I know is present unreal situation That is the second conditional and that it contains a main clause and an if clause. How can I explain to my students in what tense is would buy???
Rule is: If clause past simple vs. main clause would+ simple form of the verb.
How do you call this????

Main clause is modal 'would' + bare infinitive of the verb.
