10. Mixed Conditional Match with these descriptions!

Describes how a general truth affects a past action.

11. Mixed Conditional
Frequently the time in the if-clause and the time in the result clause are different: one clause may be in the present and the other in the past.

12. Mixed Conditional There are two rules in mixed conditional. 1st rule:
Talk about the past consequence of situation that is still true at the time of the speaking. In other words, it describes how an action in the past effects the present.
Pattern:
If clause: simple past (2nd conditional).
Main clause: would/wouldn’t +have+V3(3rd conditional)

13. Mixed Conditional
Example: 1st Rule 1. (a)True: He is not a good student. He did not study, for the test yesterday. (b) Conditional: If he were a good student, he would have studied for the test yesterday. 2. (a)True: I really don’t understand maths. I faild the test. (b)Conditional: If I really understood maths. I wouldn’t have failed the test.

14. Mixed Conditional 2nd Rule:
Talk about the present consequence of a past action. In the other words, it describes how a general truth affects a past action.
Pattern:
If clause: past perfect-would/wouldn’t +have+V3(3rd conditional)
Main clause:Would+simple form(V1)–(2nd conditional).

15. Mixed Conditional Example: 2nd Rule
1. (a)True: I did not eat breakfast several hours ago, so I am hungry now.
(b) Conditional: If I had eaten breakfast several hours ago, I would not be hungry now.
