II. Grammar Exercises
1. real and unreal conditionals
With real conditionals, there is a chance that the condition will be fulfilled; with unreal conditional there is no such chance.
e.g. If he arrives on time, he will be able to go with us. (Real condition)
If he had arrived on time, he would have been able to go with us. (Unreal condition)
If I were (was) you, I would be careful. (Unreal condition). Conditional sentences have two clauses. Real conditionals: If clause: present tense Result clause: future tense If you eat too much ice cream, Unreal Conditions — present: If clause: simple past you'll get sick. Result clause: would or could + base form of verb If I had more time, I'd do exercises everyday. If you were rich, Unreal Conditions — past: If clause: past perfect you could buy a large house in the suburbs. Result clause: would have + past participle 59

2. wouldn’t have printed (In an unreal conditional, we use ―if + past perfect‖ and ―would + have done‖ in the main clause when we talk about something in the past.)
3. wouldn’t buy (In an unreal conditional, we use a past tense in the if-clause and ―would do‖ in the main clause when we talk about present or future situations.) 4. wouldn’t have died 5. goes

(subject) It is shoes that Jenny spends all her money on. (object)
