Second conditional: If my sister didn't live abroad, we could see her more than

[Penuel]

Hello everybody!

There is an exercise in Headway workbook, Intermediate, asking to write second conditional sentence for : My sister lives abroad. We don't see her more than once year.
Should we say:
If my sister didn't live abroad, we could see her more than once a year. OR
If my sister didn't live abroad, we would see her more than once a year.

Are there any differences in the meaning of above 2 sentences?

Thanks!

'Would' is the traditional Conditional II. There is no real difference in use between the two sentences, the first suggests ability while the second indicates intent.
