    Mixed Conditional

    Uploaded by

    Alexitaamor
    The most common mixed conditional combines a type 3 conditional in the if-clause (using the past perfect) with a type 2 conditional in the main clause (using "would" + infinitive). Several examples are provided to illustrate mixed conditional patterns combining the past or present with the past, future, or present. The document concludes that if-clauses can be mixed as long as they make logical sense within the given context, and provides additional examples combining different conditional types.

    Mixed Conditionals
    When we talk about mixed conditionals,
    we are referring to conditional sentences
    that combine two different types of
    conditional patterns. These combinations
    are not all that frequent, but the most
    common combination is when we have a
    type 3 conditional in the if-clause (if + past
    perfect) followed by a type 2 conditional
    (would + infinitive) in the main clause.
    Mixed Conditional Patterns
    PAST PRESENT
    Examples:

    If I had won the lottery, I would be rich.
    BUT I DIDN'T WIN THE LOTTERY IN THE PAST AND I AM NOT RICH NOW.
    If I had taken an aspirin, I wouldn't have a headache now.
    PAST FUTURE
    Examples:
    If she had signed up for the ski trip last week, she would be joining us tomorrow.
    BUT SHE DIDN'T SIGN UP FOR THE SKI TRIP LAST WEEK AND SHE ISN'T GOING TO JOIN US TOMORROW.

    If I had known that you are going to come by tomorrow, I would be in then.
    PRESENT PAST
    Examples:

    If she had enough money, she could have done this trip to Hawaii.

    PRESENT FUTURE
    Examples:

    If I were you, I would be spending my vacation in Seattle.
    FUTURE PAST
    Examples:

    If I weren't flying to Detroit, I would have planned a trip to Vancouver.
    FUTURE PRESENT
    Examples:

    If I were taking this exam next week, I would be high-strung.
    MIXED CONDITIONALS
    If-clauses can be mixed provided that they make sense within a context.
    If-clause Main clause
    Type 3 If she had worked harder
    at university,
    She would have a degree
    now.

    Type 2
    (she didn`t work hard at
    university
    so she doesn`t have a
    degree now. )
    Type 2 If I were faster,

    I would have won the
    race.
    Type 3
    (Im not fast so I didnt win the race.)

    Type2

    If they were studying all
    morning,
    they will be tired now.

    Type 1

    (they were studying so they are tired now.)
