Week 6

• For writing skills we had to create a sentence following the stem that the professor gave us:

¤I have never had a broken bone because I never had an accident or something like that.

¤I’d like to visit Egypt and Jerusalem because in my personal opinion, those are places worth visiting and learn from their culture and history.

¤Some day I’m going to finish my major and have my own business and have more time in order to spend it with my family and friends.

¤I’m happiest when I accomplish something that I’ve been working on so hard and with devotion.

¤I like people who can behave in front of others and don’t mess up other people´s lives.

¤I’d like to be more patient with my family and myself as well.
¤I’d like to be less annoying and perfectionist because these features  usually carry  trouble.

• From the book we studied the Past Unreal Conditionals (hypothetical).
• Past unreal conditional talk about a past unreal, untrue or imagined conditions and their results. Also used to express regret about what really happened

vIf clauses  suggest the condition: if + subject + past perfect

vResult clause gives the result: subject + would (not) have + past part.

vThe sentence can begin with the if clause or the result clause, the meaning is the same.  

vIf the sentence begins with the if clause, this one needs to be followed by a comma.
