Isn't this sentence imaginary? I thought it's a second conditional sentence. can't we use 'past form of marry' at all instead of its present form? Or we can use either married or marry? Please explain.

AnonymousOr we can use either married or marry?

In this sentence, either one is OK.

Here is the zero conditional, which makes a future prediction based on a present action.
If you marry a childish guy, every day will seem like Children's Day.

Here is first conditional, which presents a hypothetical (imaginary, unreal) situation:
If you married a childish guy, every day would seem like Children's Day.

We often use "would" in place of "will," so it's not incorrect to use "would" in the first sentence. It makes is less emphatic and absolutely sure.

If you are doing an English test with this kind of sentence, use the first conditional. It's probably the expected answer.

By the way, the second sentence that you posted had more mistakes than the first. That's why it looked worse than the first one.
If you married a childish guy, everyday would seen children's day.

So, do you mean, 'If you marry a childish guy, everyday would seem like children's day.' And 'If you marry a childish guy, everyday will seem like children's day.' are the same meaning with having less emphatic with the sentence with 'would'?

If you marry a childish guy, every day ("Every day" is two words.) would seem like Children's Day. (Names of holidays are proper nouns, so capitalize them.)

The meaning is basically the same with "will".
