Why are there no tips available for this entire section? They really help me to understand what I am trying to learn on here. This section has been especially hard for me to understand, and now there is no advice prior to each lesson.

Why do we use kdybychom here instead of just jestli? Or another direct translation of if
Because it is the conditional mood. kdybych/kdybys/... is a part of the conditional mood construction, not just rhe word if.

Why does the word order matter with potrebovali and bychom? Wouldn't bychom potrebovali be the same as potrebovali bychom?
No, bychom belongs among the clitic auxiliary forms of být and hence it must be in the second position.

But at the same time aby and kdyby are conjunctions and so they don't need to be on the second position, am I right?
