Friday Class Assignment 3

Hi everyone! Here’s your final assignment for this term.

We’ve been practicing the third conditional, which is when you talk about things in the past that aren’t true. (Here’s my explanation.) So, I’d like you to share five wishes, along with five conditional sentences. You can only use the subject “I” for two of your sentences, though.

For example, you could say:

“Pedro wishes he hadn’t studied math. If he hadn’t studied math, he would have learned how to be a magician.”

(That example would count as one wish and one conditional sentence.)

Please finish this and any other assignments you want credit for by next Thursday, October 29th. And don’t forget the final exam next week!

  Hi Saul,
  
  Nice job, but divide the wish sentences from the conditional sentences. Otherwise, it’s too long and confusing.

  Hi Xiomara,
  
  I’d give you the same comment I gave to Saul: divide the wish and the conditional parts. If they’re together, it’s too long and called a “run-on sentence.”
  
  Good job!

  Hi Naomy,
  
  Good job, but don’t forget the “have” in the result of the conditional sentence. So the first should be “…she never would have been/gotten stuck” and the later one would be “I wouldn’t have been late.” The last one, though, is a result in second conditional (which is OK), so it should be “I wouldn’t be as full as I am right now.”
  
  Good work, though!
