Why is "want" in the last part past form? “When you wake up in the morning, Pooh,” said Piglet at last, “what's the first thing you say to yourself?” “What's for breakfast?” said Pooh. “What do you say, Piglet?” “I say, I wonder what's going to happen exciting to-day?” said Piglet. Pooh nodded thoughtfully. “It's the same thing,” he said. “And what did happen?” asked Christopher Robin. “When?” “Next morning.” “I don't know.” “Could you think, and tell me and Pooh some time?” “If you wanted it very much.” “Pooh does,” said Christopher Robin. Why is "want" in the last part past form? Is this second conditional?

It's because it's a conditional form.

Yes, you can think of it as second conditional, 'If you wanted it very much, I could tell you and Pooh sometime.' - I put the comment here as I cannot reply to yours.
