Bye bye



Hello!

I'm so sad because this school year has just been finished. I have learnt a lot and improve this language.It is said that All work has its bounty, isn't it?.
 In this summer, I'll do anything because I want to be relax and enjoy a lot these 3 months. As soon as possible, I'll write more things about grammar and vocabulay. I also hope that you have learnt and have understood my explanations, I have tried to do it very well and make the best of english.
Finally, I give you some rephraising to improve better all the grammar. Rephrasing
Thank you to read me and specially thanks for my english teacher who is the best and I'll miss a lot.

I wish/ If only

Hi again!

To express a wish we can express by different forms:

-Wish about an irreal decision: I wish+suj+past simple.
I wish I were rich (but I am not).

-Wish in the past: I wish+ suj+ past perfect.
I wish I had learnt English when I was younger (but I didn't).

-Wish about an annoy situation or the weather: I wish+suj+would+infinitive.
I wish you would stop making that noise.

Here are some examples: Exercise 1


Conditional sentences

Hello!

There are four types of conditional sentences:

-Type 0: If+suj+present simple, suj+present simple.
Ex: If you boil the water, It boils.

-Type 1: If+suj+present simple, suj+ will+infinitive.
To talk about predictions or something that will be happen certain.
Ex: If it rains, I will stay at my home.

-Type 2: If+suj+past simple, suj+would+infinitive.
To talk about wishes, dreams or something we want to happen.
Ex: If I won the lottey, I would buy a new car.

-Type 3: If+suj+ past perfect simple, suj+would have+participle.
To talk about the impossibility of something had been happened.
Ex: If I had been an astronaunt, I would have travelled to the moon.

In these, "will" or "would" can be changed for: could, may, might...
"If" also can be changed for: provided that, as long as, supossed that...
Unless is frecuently to be in the first conditional and it replace if+not. For example:
If it doesn't rain, I'll go to the beach= Unless rains, I'll go to the beach.
In addition, we can change the order of the sentences, but we haven't to put a comma. For example:
I would take a lot of photos if I went to London.
