    Elija la opción más adecuada para completar cada oración.If _______________ enough money, I would travel around Europe.

    • I had

    • I have

    Correct Answer
    A. I had
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "I had". This is because the sentence is in the past tense and is referring to a hypothetical situation. The phrase "If I had enough money" implies that the speaker did not have enough money in the past, but is imagining what they would do if they did.

    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't
    Explanation
    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.

    Correct Answer
    A. I knew
    Explanation

    Correct Answer
    A. I would

    The correct answer is "I would" because the sentence is in the conditional form, indicating a hypothetical situation. The use of "would" suggests that if the speaker had knowledge of the answer, they would be willing or inclined to share it with the person being addressed.

    Correct Answer
    A. 'd drive
    Explanation
    The correct answer is 'd drive. This is because the sentence is in the conditional form, expressing a hypothetical situation. The use of "were" indicates the subjunctive mood, which is used to express unreal or hypothetical situations. Therefore, the correct form is "If I were you, I'd drive more carefully in the rain," indicating that the speaker would drive more carefully if they were in the listener's position.

    Correct Answer

    The correct answer is "would buy" because the sentence is in the conditional form, expressing a hypothetical situation. The phrase "If I had a million dollars" suggests that the person does not currently have a million dollars, but if they did, they would use it to buy a big house. The use of "would" indicates a hypothetical or unreal condition.

    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)

    Correct Answer
    LIVED
    lived
    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:

  • 14. 

    Elija la opción más adecuada para completar cada oración.Richard _______________ the exams if he worked harder.

    • Would pass

    • Passed

    Correct Answer
    A. Would pass
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "would pass." This is because the sentence is conditional, indicating that Richard's passing of the exams is dependent on him working harder. The use of "would" in this context suggests a hypothetical or unreal situation, indicating that if Richard put in more effort, he would have a higher chance of passing the exams.

    Rate this question:

  • 15. 

    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. Would
    Explanation
    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.

    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. Would
    Explanation
    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.

    Explanation
    If dogs had wings, they would be able to fly. This sentence is a conditional statement in the past unreal condition. It suggests that dogs do not have wings in reality, but if they did have wings, they would be capable of flying. The word "had" is the correct answer as it correctly completes the conditional clause in the past tense.

    Correct Answer
    would buy
    'd buy
    WOULD BUY
    'D BUY
    Explanation
    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.

    STAYED
    stayed

    The correct answer for this question is "STAYED" for the first blank and "stayed" for the second blank. The verb "stayed" is used in the past tense to match the conditional form "would play" in the if-clause. This suggests a hypothetical situation in the past where the speaker did not stay, resulting in not playing tennis.

    would have
    'D HAVE
    'd have
    Explanation
    If we met at three, we would have plenty of time to play tennis the whole afternoon. The phrase "would have" is used to express a hypothetical situation in the past. It indicates that if the meeting had taken place at three, there would have been enough time to play tennis. The other options, 'D HAVE and 'd have, are contractions of "would have" and have the same meaning.

    Explanation
    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.

    Explanation
    The correct answer is "were" because the sentence is in the subjunctive mood, indicating a hypothetical or unreal situation. In this case, the speaker is expressing a condition that is not true or likely to happen (if it were sunny), so the correct verb form to use is the past subjunctive "were."
