    The document discusses the conditional mood, which expresses what would happen if certain circumstances occur. It provides examples using conditionals like "I would eat insects if I were starving" and "I would climb Mount Everest if I wanted to." Both examples establish a condition with "if" and then state what would occur if that condition were fulfilled. The conditional mood can also use "could" or "might" instead of "would" to express hypothetical or uncertain situations.

    1.

    The conditional that talks about what would happen or what one would do in certain
    circumstances

    2. Conditional Mood
    3. The conditional mood expresses something that would happen if certain circumstances
    happen.
    4. Let's take a look at this example: 'I would eat insects if I were starving.' We have a
    condition: 'If I were starving.' So, what would I do if the condition were fulfilled? 'I would
    eat insects.'
    5. Let's look at another example: 'I would climb Mount Everest if I wanted to.' What is the
    condition here? 'If I wanted to.' And what would I do if the condition were fulfilled? 'I would
    climb Mount Everest.' (I don't want to because I have TV, but that's not relevant right
    now.)
    6. These sentences have used the word 'would,' but we can also use the words 'could' and
    'might' in the conditional tense. For example, 'He could get the concert tickets tomorrow.'
    'It might work.'
    7. Subjunctive Mood
