Conditionals Practice

In conditional sentences there are 2 clauses:

The IF clause which referes to the condition. In hypothetical conditionals the tense in the IF clause changes one tense back
from real time. E.g. I am = If I wasn’t
The main clause which referes to the result. In hypothetical conditionals we use the auxiliary would, would + infinitive for
present results and would + have + past participle for the past results
