    Default Please, proofread several sentences.

    1-If you changed into the suit, we could go to the restaurant
    2- If we are hungry we would go to the canteen
    3- If the waitress didn’t see us, we would have to wait for some time.
    4- If I knew what had been there in your fridge, I could tell what to buy.
    5- If that girl had a good taste, she would always be well-dressed.

    1.2-I wish I could help them
    2.2-I wish the guests were sorry they had made so much noise that the police came
    3.2-I wish you could have tasted my cake, it was delicious.
    4.2-I wish you were with us.

    If we reserved a table in the coffee shop yesterday, we would not have to wait so long now.
    If you will have a free time after your work, drop into a fish store and buy some shrimps.

    I don't know if a "fish" store would sell shrimp. In Canada we call it a seafood store.

    I am not a teacher.

    Thank you so much for helping me. Yeah, you are right, “seafood store” sounds better.
    Here some more sentences. I have translated it but I’m not sure about tenses sequence. Could someone be so kind to proofread them too, are they all correct?
    And thanks again.

    3- Now I regret I haven’t ordered trout fillet because my roast beef is not cooked. (not fried enough).
    4-Jane would buy the shoes if they matched the color of her new stripped skirt.
    5- If she had not been on a diet, she would order spaghetti with tomato sauce but she had to order salad and boiled fish.
    6- I wish I didn’t wear woolen sweater, it’s cold in here.
    7- I wish the cook could put more salt in the meal, it would be tastier.
    8- If I had enough money now, I could purchase this elegant spotted two-piece dress.
    9- It’s petty we have no time to visit a coffee shop, I would love to have a cup of tea with confectionary. ( or I wish we had more time to visit a……….)
    10 If Jack buys milk and a dozen of eggs, I will bake pancakes
