Grammar Past perfect/3rd conditional

The past perfect refers to a particular point of time in the past.
Examples:

Alfred Hitchcock made many films.
(Past simple - he is dead and cannot make any more.)

Leonardo di Caprio has made many films.
(Present perfect - he is alive and will probably make more films.)

Marlon Brando had made many films by the time he was 40.
(Past perfect with a specific point of time as a reference)

Lesson 5

- If I hqd done my homework the teacher wouldn't have shouted at me.
(In reality I didn't do my homework and my teacher shouted at me.)

- She would have passes her exam if she had studied more.
(In reality she didn' study enough and so she didn't pass her exam.

3rd Conditional

http://www.teach-this.com/Conditionals/Just%20Imagine.pdf

Purpose: practice of:
IF + HAD (N’T) PARTICIPLE, WOULD (N’T) HAVE PARTICIPLE
If+past perfect of have, would hqve + verb

Daisy and her friend WOULD HAVE CROSSED the street and the taxi WOULD HAVE DRIVEN by.

story:

1. Students write each problem and its corresponding result on the board

EXAMPLE: Her alarm didn't go off – she overslept.

2. Students imagine Sarah had a good morning and use the third conditional:
If her alarm had gone off, she wouldn't have overslept.

Pairs of students make third conditional sentences with the remaining examples.

STORY:
Sarah had to be at the airport for her flight at 9am, but her alarm didn't go off and she overslept. She got dressed very quickly, threw everything into her suitcase and ran out of the house.

When she got to the airport she realised she had forgotten her passport. So she jumped in a taxi and returned home. She grabbed her passport from the coffee table, got in a taxi and went back to the airport.

One mile from the airport the taxi broke down. She tried to flag down another, but they were all taken and so she ran the rest of the way.

When she arrived at the airport, she saw that she had missed her flight. She had to pay 500 dollars for another ticket for the next flight.

While she was waiting, she went to buy a book. She was so preoccupied with her difficult morning that she walked out of the shop without paying and was arrested by the police.

The police detained her for three hours and she missed her flight again. Sarah went home and decided never to fly again!

Homework!
The 'what if....' form is often used in movies and novels but think about the times you have used the equivalent in your own life.
Write down 5 regrets that you have.

quiz 1

quiz

What games did you play as a child?

What was your favourite food when you were a child?

What were you like as a child?

To answer these questions we can also use the phrase 'used to'

Used to do

We can use used to to talk about things:

1. we did regularly in the past that we don't do now
She used to smoke 20 a day but gave up cigarettes almost 10 years ago.
He used to eat lots of meat but now he's a vegetarian so he doesn't eat chicken, lamb or beef any more.

2. that were true in the past but which aren't true now
You and John just don't seem as close as you used to be. Have you two fallen out?
There used to be loads of shops in our village but now there are only four.

Form:

The positive, negative and question forms of 'use to' stay the same no matter what pronouns you use:

Positive:
This is made up of used to + base verb
Tim used to work in a newsagent's but now he works in a department store.
You used to like me. Why aren't we friends anymore?

Negative:
This is made up of Didn't use to + base verb
There didn't use to be a cinema here.
She didn't use to like wine but now she drinks a glass of it every evening.

Question:
This is made up of Did + pronoun + use to + base verb
Did you use to play sport?
Did she use to be scared of spiders?

Note it's unusual to use this form when asking questions about the past. We're much more likely to ask:
Did you play sport when you were at school?
Are you scared of spiders?/Were you scared of spiders when you were young?

Used to refers to the past. We can't use 'used to' to talk about the present or future.

To talk about your daily habits you can't say 'Every day I use to go to work by bike' you need to use the present simple - 'I go to work by bike'

To talk about future habits you can't say 'When I live in New York next year, I'll use to take the subway everywhere', you need to use will + base verb - 'I'll take the subway'
