Subject: Conditional Sentences

Инструкция: Conditional sentences are used to talk about hypothetical or imagined situations. They usually consist of two parts: the if-clause (condition) and the main clause (result). In this exercise, we are asked to choose the correct completion for each sentence using A, B, or C options.

1. If we had not gotten lost, we would have arrived here earlier. (B)
The correct completion is option B because it shows the result of the hypothetical situation in the if-clause. If we had not gotten lost (condition), we would have arrived here earlier (result).

2. If my husband had taken that job, we would have moved to London. (C)
Option C is the correct completion because it represents the result of the hypothetical condition. If my husband had taken that job (condition), we would have moved to London (result).

3. We must finish this job quickly. We have very little time left. (A)
The correct completion is option A because it provides additional information supporting the statement. We must finish this job quickly (sentence 1). We have very little time left (sentence 2).

4. There are only a few parks in this city - just two or three. (C)
Option C is the correct completion because it provides the required information about the number of parks. There are only a few parks in this city (main clause). Just two or three (additional information).

5. It"s very hot. Would you mind opening the window? (A)
The correct completion is option A because it properly completes the request. It"s very hot (main clause). Would you mind opening the window? (additional information).

6. Joe said he had bought a...
Since the sentence is incomplete, it does not require a completion.

Совет: To understand conditional sentences better, it is important to remember the structure: if-clause (condition) + main clause (result). Pay attention to the verb tenses used in each clause. The if-clause usually takes the past perfect tense to represent a hypothetical condition, and the main clause uses the modal verb "would" plus the base form of the verb to show the result. Practice creating your own conditional sentences using various conditions and results.
