Mixed conditionals

Mixed conditionals

1. What is it?

   • A mixed conditional is where the two clauses in a conditional sentence refer to different times.

2. When do we use it?

   • We use a mixed conditional to express the present result of a hypothetical past event or situation.

3. Conditionals without if

   • We can use provided/providing that and as long as to replace if in first conditional sentences.
     • Example: Provided that sally buys a ticket, she can come with us.

4. Wish & if only

   • We use wish to talk about a situation or an action we aren't happy about or to say how we would like something else to be.
     • Example: I wish I knew where the Tourist Information Center was.
