3. By theme: If and wish sentences.

4. Plan: 1. If sentences (Present/Future). 2. If and wish sentences (Present). 3. If and wish sentences (Past). 4. Would.

5. If sentences (Present/Future). When we imagine a future happening like “If I find your book, I`ll give it to you”, we use a past tense (did/was/found) after if. But the meaning is not past: - What would you do if you won a million pounds? - Ann wouldn`t lend me any money if I asked her.

6. If sentences (Present/Future). We do not normally use would in the if part of the sentence: - I`d be very frightened if someone pointed a gun at me. (not if someone would point) - If we didn`t go to their party next week, they would be angry.(not if we wouldn`t go) Sometimes it is possible to say if... would, especially when we ask someone to do something in a formal way: - I would be very grateful if you would send me your brochure and price list as soon as possible. - Shall I close the door? “ Yes, please, if you would.”

7. If and wish sentences (Present). When we imagine a situation like “If I knew her number I would telephon her”, we use a past tense (I did/I was/I knew) after if. But the meaning is present, not past: - Tom would travel if he had more money. (but he doesn`t have much money) - If I didn`t want to go, I wouldn`t. (but I want to go)

8. If and wish sentences (Present). We also use the past for a present situation after wish. We use wish to say that we regret something that something is not as we would like it to be. - I wish I knew Sue`s telephone number. (I don`t know it.) - Do you ever wish you could fly? (You can`t fly.) - I wish I didn`t have to work. (I have to work.)

9. If and wish sentences (Present). In if sentences and after wish we can use were instead of was: - If I were you, I wouldn`t buy that coat. (or If I was you) - I wish my room were larger. (or I wish my room was larger) We don’t use would in the if part of the sentence or after wish: - If I were rich, I would buy a castle. (not if I would be rich) But sometimes I wish... would... is possible. - I wish she would stop crying so loud.

10. If and wish sentences (Past). When we are talking about the past, we use the past perfect (I had done/I had been/I had known) after if. - I would have gone out if I hadn`t been so tired. (but I was too tired.) We also have to use the past perfect (I had done) after wish when we say that we regret something that happened or didn`t happen in the past: - I feel sick. I wish I hadn`t eaten so much. (I ate too much.) - The weather was awful. I wish it had been warmer. (It wasn`t warm.) We cannot use would have after wish: - I wish she had gone to the party with me. (not would have gone)

11. Would. Sometimes we use would after I wish... - I wish it would stop raining. We use I wish... would... when we want something to happen or somebody to do something. - I wish someone would answer that telephone. We often use I wish... wouldn`t to complain about the way people do things: - I wish you wouldn`t drive so fast. It makes me nervous.

12. Would. Would/wouldn`t is sometimes the past of will/won`t: present Tom: I`ll lend you some money. past Tom said that he would lend Ann some money. past Tom said that he would lend Ann some money. We can also use would when we look back on the past and remember things that often happened: - When we were children, we lived by the sea. In summer, if the weather was fine, we would all get up early and go for a swim.
