The phrase "grateful if you" suggests a conditional statement, where the speaker is expressing gratitude if the listener does something.

4. If it ... your birthday, I ... you a present. a) b)  c)   

Explanation

This sentence is written in the conditional tense, expressing a hypothetical situation. The word "if" indicates that the sentence is discussing a condition that may or may not be true. The correct answer is "was ... would buy" because it correctly matches the past tense of "if it was your birthday" with the conditional tense of "I would buy you a present." This implies that the speaker is referring to a past event and stating that if it had been the listener's birthday, they would have bought them a present.

5. Unless she ... her results, she ... to the concert.  

Explanation

If she improves her results, it means that she has made progress or achieved better outcomes. In this context, "won't go" implies that she will not attend the concert. Therefore, the correct answer is "improves...won't go." This suggests that if she does not improve her results, she will go to the concert, but if she does improve, she will not go.

Submit
6. If only I ________________(know) how to dance Tango.

Explanation

The correct answer is "knew" because it is the past tense form of the verb "know", which matches the verb tense in the sentence. The sentence is expressing a hypothetical situation of wishing to know how to dance Tango, indicating a desire for knowledge in the past. Therefore, "knew" is the appropriate verb form to complete the sentence.

7. I won't go to the party unless she ... me.  

Explanation

The correct answer is "invites." The sentence is expressing a condition using the word "unless," which means that the speaker will not go to the party unless a specific condition is met. In this case, the condition is that she invites the speaker. Therefore, the correct verb form is "invites."

9. Unless the weather ... better, I ...

Explanation

The correct answer is "gets ... won't arrive." This is because the word "unless" indicates a condition that needs to be fulfilled for the second part of the sentence to happen. In this case, the condition is the weather getting better. So, if the weather gets better, the speaker won't arrive.

Submit
10. I wish I _________________(have) a better job

Explanation

The correct answer is "had" because the sentence is in the past tense and is expressing a hypothetical or unreal condition.

In this case, the speaker is expressing a wish for a better job that they do not currently have.

Submit
11. I ... you any alcohol, unless you ... over 18.

Explanation

The correct answer is "won't sell ... are". This answer is correct because it follows the rule that the speaker will not sell alcohol unless the person is over 18 years old. The use of "won't sell" indicates a refusal to sell, and "are" indicates that the person is indeed over 18.

Submit
12. Emma would have opened her own shop if she ... the money.

Explanation

The correct answer is "had had." This is because the sentence is in the past unreal conditional form, indicating a hypothetical situation in the past. "Had had" is the correct form of the past perfect tense, used to show that Emma did not have the money in the past.

Submit
13. If this is a good article, I ... a Formula One driver!  

Explanation

The correct answer is "am." The sentence is in the present tense, and the phrase "If this is a good article" suggests a hypothetical situation.

Therefore, the correct verb form to use is "am," which is the first person singular present tense of the verb "to be."

Submit
14. I wish I _________________________  (study) more for this quiz!

Explanation

The correct answer is "had studied" because the sentence is in the past tense and expresses a regret or wish about a past action. The phrase "I wish" indicates that the speaker is expressing a desire for something different to have happened in the past. In this case, the speaker wishes they had studied more for the quiz, implying that they did not study enough and are now regretting it.

Submit
15. If only I _________________________ (drink) so much beer last night

Explanation

The correct answer is "hadn't drunk, had not drunk" because the sentence is in the past unreal conditional form. The use of "hadn't drunk" and "had not drunk" indicates that the speaker regrets drinking too much beer the night before. The past perfect tense "hadn't drunk" is used in the if-clause, while the simple past tense "had not drunk" is used in the result clause.

Submit
16.  I wish it ________________(be) not so cold today.

Explanation

The correct answer is "was, were" because the sentence is expressing a wish or a hypothetical situation in the present. In English, when expressing a wish or a hypothetical situation in the present, we use "was" for singular subjects and "were" for plural subjects. In this case, "it" is a singular subject, so we use "was."

Explanation

The correct answer is "had learned, had learnt". This is because the sentence is in the past unreal conditional form, indicating a hypothetical situation in the past. The verb "wish" is used to express a desire for something that did not happen. The past perfect form "had learned" or "had learnt" is used to show that the action of learning English did not occur in the past.

Submit
19. I wish this phone _________________________ (stop) ringing!

Explanation

In this sentence, the speaker expresses a wish for the phone to stop ringing. To convey this wish, the correct form to use is "would stop."

Therefore, the use of "would stop" correctly conveys the speaker's wish for the phone to stop ringing.

Submit
