Re: Conditional Hello Tdol,
would you please explain to me, what is wrong of my explanations to no.3? Conditional II = If + Simple Past, would + infinitive If the Queen died, she would succeed by her son Charles. Conditional II = If + Simple Past, would + infinitive If I were rich, I would lay in the sun on a tropical island Conditional III = If + Past Perfect, would + have + Past Participle If I had not married, I would still have lived abroad. By the way: I'm really sure that "Had not got married" doesn't work. I think that "got" is never used before a verb. Am I wrong? Would you please also explain to me No. 1? I think that "if + were + infinitve" sounds very odd and I have never heard it before. What's wrong when I say "if + simple past"? I haven't known that "if + were + infinitive" is also used. Please explain to me, when it is used. Hela, I'm very sorry that I gave you wrong information. I hope that I understand it better after Tdol gave me some explanations.
Best regards,
Dany  |
