1. If I .......... (go) jogging every morning, I .......... (keep) fit.

Explanation

The correct answer is "went; would keep". This is because the use of "would" in the second part of the sentence indicates a hypothetical or conditional situation. The first part of the sentence suggests that if the person went jogging every morning, the result would be that they would keep fit. The contraction "'d" is also a shortened form of "would".

2. I .......... (travel) round the world if I .......... (win) a million pounds.

Explanation

The correct answer is "would travel; won." In this conditional sentence, the use of "would" in the first clause indicates a hypothetical or unreal situation, suggesting that the speaker is imagining what they would do if they won a million pounds. The verb "travel" is in the base form because it follows "would." In the second clause, "won" is used as the past tense of "win" to indicate the completion of the action of winning the million pounds. The contraction "'d" is used as a shortened form of "would" before the verb "travel" in the second clause.

Submit

3. If I .......... (see) a bear in the forest, I .......... (run away).

Explanation

The correct answer is "saw; would run away." In conditional sentences, we use the past simple tense in the if-clause to talk about a hypothetical or unreal situation. In this case, "If I saw a bear in the forest" is the if-clause. We use the modal verb "would" in the main clause to express the result or action that would happen in response to the hypothetical situation. Therefore, the correct form is "saw; would run away." The alternative answer "saw; 'd run away" is grammatically incorrect as it uses an apostrophe instead of the correct contraction "would."

Submit

4. If it .......... (rain), they .......... (not / go) out.

Explanation

The correct answer is "rained; would not go" and "rained; wouldn't go". These forms of the verb "rain" in the past tense indicate that if it did rain, the subject would not go out. The use of "would not" and "wouldn't" suggests a hypothetical or conditional situation.

Submit

5. If you .......... (be) kind, you .......... (give) me your seat.

Explanation

This sentence is a conditional statement in the past tense. It suggests that if the person was kind, they would give their seat to the speaker. The word "were" is used because it is the correct past tense form of "be" for the pronoun "you". The phrase "would give" or "'d give" is used to express the conditional action of giving the seat. Both options are correct and can be used interchangeably.

Submit

6. If you .......... (meet) a lion in the jungle, you .......... (not / laugh) at it.

Explanation

In this conditional sentence, the verb "met" is used in the past simple tense to indicate a hypothetical situation. The phrase "would not laugh" and "wouldn't laugh" is used in the conditional form to express the consequence of meeting a lion in the jungle. It suggests that if someone meets a lion, they would not find it amusing or laugh at it due to the potential danger or fear associated with the situation.

Submit

7. I .......... (be) very happy if you .......... (come) on time.

Explanation

The correct answer is "would be; came." In this sentence, the speaker is expressing a hypothetical situation. They are saying that if the person comes on time, they would be very happy. The use of "would be" indicates a conditional or hypothetical situation, while "came" is the correct past tense form of the verb "come" in this context.

Submit

8. If Jack .......... (be) lazy, he .......... (fail).

Explanation

The correct answer is "was; would fail" and "was; 'd fail". These verb forms are used to express a hypothetical or unreal condition in the past. The first part of the sentence implies that Jack was lazy, and the second part suggests that as a result of his laziness, he would fail. The contraction "'d" is short for "would."

Submit

9. If Mr Smith .......... (be) a good mechanic, he .......... (repair) his own car. 

Explanation

The correct answer is "were; would repair". In this conditional sentence, the verb "be" is in the past subjunctive form "were" to express an unreal or hypothetical situation. The second part of the sentence uses the modal verb "would" to indicate the conditional action of Mr. Smith repairing his own car.

Submit

10. Tessa .......... (not / be) in bed if she .......... (not / have) a high temperature.

Explanation

The correct answer is "would not be; did not have, wouldn't be; didn't have." This answer is correct because it follows the correct tense usage in conditional sentences. The first part of the sentence uses the conditional form "would not be" to indicate a hypothetical situation in the present. The second part of the sentence uses the simple past tense "did not have" to show that Tessa did not have a high temperature in the past. The alternative answer "wouldn't be; didn't have" is also correct as it follows the same tense usage.
