Grammar
Let’s look at mixed conditionals.

You know that conditionals can be

 

situation

result

Present or future time

If + past simple

would, could, might + verb in infinitive/ be + ing

Past time

If + past perfect

would have, could have, might have + past participle

 

Past situation, present result:

If Annberly hadn’t watched TV programmes, her brother would not be alive today.

Past situation, future result:

If Oscar hadn’t been so determined, his mother might have more scars to other parts of her body.
