If , had & would

[amna]

hello,
actually I am confused about the use of had & would in this sentence, I went to walmart & was looking for reader digest but the emplyee said

"may be we do not have it. if we had it, it would be in magzine section."

why she used had & would could any body explain the meaning of sentence so it gives me more sence

thanks

amna

It's the second conditional (conditional II):

IF + past simple (condition) + WOULD + base verb (result)

Well, in both cases the same grammatical construction is used. Conditional II, as Torsten wrote.
--> they express a condition

The content of sentence 1 is rather not logic though.
