## Step 5 - Grammar

Grammar
Let’s look at mixed conditionals.

You know that conditionals can be

- type 0 (If you heat water, it boils at 100°C),
- type 1 (If I study hard, I will pass my exams),
- type 2 (If I won the lottery, I would go on a world cruise),
- type 3 (If I had studied harder, I would have passed the exam).

| 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.
