If I won the lottery, I would buy a sports car. The verb "would buy" is used to express a hypothetical situation in the future. In this case, winning the lottery is a hypothetical situation, and the speaker is expressing their intention to buy a sports car if that hypothetical situation were to occur. The contraction "'d buy" is a shortened form of "would buy" and can be used interchangeably. Both "would buy" and "'d buy" are in the conditional tense, indicating a hypothetical or unreal situation.Rate this question:

Complete los recuadros usando el verbo entre paréntesis en el tiempo y forma que corresponda.If we _______________ in London, we would eat British food. (live)
Explanation
The given correct answer for this question is "LIVED, lived". This is because the sentence is in the conditional form, specifically the second conditional. In the second conditional, we use the past simple form of the verb in the if-clause (If we lived in London) and the would + base form of the verb in the main clause (we would eat British food). Therefore, the correct forms of the verb "live" in the if-clause and the main clause are "LIVED" and "lived" respectively.Rate this question:

Choose the correct word or words to form a correct If clause, Second Type.If she spoke English fluently, she _______________ get a better job.
-
Would
-
Doesn't
-
Wouldn't
Correct Answer
A. WouldExplanation
The correct answer is "would" because the sentence is referring to a hypothetical situation in the present or future. The "If clause, Second Type" suggests that the condition (speaking English fluently) is not true in the present, so the consequence (getting a better job) is also not true in the present. However, if the condition were true, the consequence would be true in the present or future. Therefore, "would" is the appropriate word to use in this context.Rate this question:

Choose the correct word or words to form a correct If clause, Second Type.If John ate less, he _______________ be so fat.
-
Will
-
Wouldn't
-
Had
Correct Answer
A. Wouldn'tExplanation
The correct answer is "wouldn't". In the second type of conditional sentences, we use "would" in the main clause to express a hypothetical or unlikely situation. In this case, if John ate less, it suggests that he currently eats a lot and the result is that he is fat. Therefore, the correct word to use in the if clause is "wouldn't" to indicate that if John ate less, he wouldn't be so fat.Rate this question:

-
Do
-
Did
Correct Answer
A. DidExplanation
The correct answer is "did". In the second conditional, we use the past simple tense in the "if" clause to talk about a hypothetical or unreal situation in the present or future. In this case, the speaker is imagining a situation where they did their homework regularly in the past, which would result in them learning more in the present or future.Rate this question:

Choose the correct word or words to form a correct If clause, Second Type.If he broke the record, he _______________ get the gold medal.
-
Would
-
Didn't
-
Will
Correct Answer
A. WouldExplanation
In the given sentence, the speaker is talking about a hypothetical situation where "he" breaks the record. The second conditional or the second type of if clause is used to talk about unreal or unlikely situations in the present or future. In this case, "would" is the correct word to form the if clause because it indicates a hypothetical outcome - if he broke the record, he would get the gold medal. The word "didn't" is incorrect because it refers to the past tense, and "will" is incorrect because it indicates a definite future outcome, which is not appropriate for a hypothetical situation.Rate this question:

Choose the correct word or words to form a correct If clause, Second Type.His parents would be happier if he _______________ them more often.
-

Visits
-
Would visit
Correct Answer
A. VisitedExplanation
The correct answer is "visited" because the sentence is in the Second Conditional form, which is used to talk about hypothetical or unreal situations in the present or future. In this case, the sentence suggests that if he visited his parents more often (which is not currently happening), his parents would be happier. The verb "visited" is the correct past simple form to use in this type of conditional sentence.Rate this question:
