The second conditional sentence is formed by two
clauses: the “If” and “Main” clauses.
If clause consist of four parts: If + subject + simple past verb + subject
Main clause consists of three parts: subject + would (I’d) + verb
Examples.
In the picture, there is a question “If you could be
anywhere in the word, where would you like to be?”, I identify the “If” clause:
If + you (subject) + could (simple past verb) + […] you
(subject) and the "main" clause in the answer: "I would like to be in Lisbon, Portugal [...]", I
(subject) + would + like (verb)
This form is used for talking about unreal experiences,
for this reason, we could imagine class mate’s reactions to different stories. I wrote this unreal class mate's response: “I think she
would explain to the person that she isn’t the doorman and refuse the money”. I
use the second conditional structure to express the unreal answer: She (subject) + would + explain (verb).
Picture's grammar mistakes:
ReplyDeleteVerbs "have" and "be" don´t agree with the nouns "Mexico" and "Lisbon".
I wrong when I wrote "I like me" instead "I like it (European style)"
I omit one letter in the word "Beautiful"
