UNIT 12 Ángel López Toraya

1. Past modals

   • Should for recommendation / advice “If you want to lose weight, you should eat healthy food.”
   • Could for possibilities “I have the day off tomorrow.” “Great! We could spend the day at the beach. Or we could go shopping.”
   • Would for imagining results “If I were rich, I would buy a boat.”

2. Wish

   • Wishes about the present and future wish + past simple is used to express that we want a situation in the present (or future) to be different.
   • wish + past continuous is used to express that we want to be doing a different action in the present (or future).

3. third conditional

   • We make the third conditional by using the past perfect after 'if' and then 'would have' and the past participle in the second part of the sentence: if + past perfect, ...would + have + past participle
   • It talks about the past. It's used to describe a situation that didn't happen, and to imagine the result of this situation.

4. mixed conditionals

   • Those of you who have been following this conditional tutorial should now be familiar with present, past and future conditional verb forms. Sometimes unreal conditional sentences are mixed. This means that the time in the if-clause is not the same as the time in the result.
