Unit 25                                               Grammar

• Unreal past, wishes / contrast

 ( Unreal by )

• Past tenses do non always refer to by time. In some sentences and with some verbs or phrases we use a past tense to refer to the present or the time to come or to a general state of affairs.bThese include sentences that contain:

Structure Example
a second conditional I'd buy that top if I had more greenbacks on me.
suppose / what if/ imagine I know it's probably not going to happen merely suppose/imagine I became a famous supermodel! I know it's probably non going to happen but what ifl became a famous super model?
would rather+you/he/she/we/ they I'd rather you didn't come with me to the fashion show tomorrow.
it's (loftier/nearly) time Information technology's (high/about) fourth dimension that hats came back in fashion.
polite questions Did yous want me to send you our new catalogue when information technology comes out?
wish / if just If only/I wish I had something to wear tonight.

Lookout man OUT

Suppose, what if and imagine can also be followed by a present tense.

A nowadays tense indicates that the situation is more likely to really happen.

A past tense indicates that the situation is less likely to actually happen.

What ifyou are accepted into art college? (more likely to happen)

What ifyou were accepted into art college? (less likely to happen)

 ( Wishes )

• We utilize different structures with wish / if only , depending on exactly what we want to express.

Expressing wishes nearly the present, future or by and large wish/if only + by simple/ continuous I wish I was studying history of manner instead of biology!
Expressing wishes nearly the past wish/if only + by perfect unproblematic/continuous If only I'd known Burton'due south was having a sale last week.
Criticising other people or complaining most a situation at present, in the future or generally wish /if but + would If but Henry would get a haircut!
Expressing hypothetical power or permission now, in the futurity or generally wish/if just + could I wish I could fit into these jeans.
Expressing desires in a formal way wish + total infinitive I wish to endeavour on this ball gown.

WATCH OUT

• Nosotros do not usually say If only/I wish I would...

✓ If but /I wish I had plenty money to buy these shoes.

✓ If only/I wish I could afford these shoes.

Ten If only/I wish I would have enough money to purchase these shoes.

• To express desires almost the futurity, we often use promise.

I promise I will have plenty money to buy these shoes side by side week.

I promise to take enough money to buy these shoes next week.

Ten I wish I volition have plenty coin to buy these shoes next calendar week.

 ( although / though / even though )

• Although, though and fifty-fifty though are used to express dissimilarity. Even though is more than emphatic than although and though. Though is more informal than although and even though.

Structure Example
Although/Though/Even though + subject + verb, discipline + verb Although / Though / Even though I wore a chapeau, I got sunburn.
bailiwick + verb, although/though/even though + subject + verb I got sunburn, although/though/fifty-fifty though I wore a chapeau.

Scout OUT

Though can also come at the cease of a sentence.

 ( in spite of/ despite )

in spite of/ despite + noun, field of study + verb In spite of/Despite my hat, I got sunburn.

Sentinel OUT

• We can besides put in spite of/despite in the middle of the sentence.

I got sunburn in spite of/despite wearing a chapeau.

• We tin also apply the perfect -ing form to show that the activity happened before the result.

I got sunburn in spite of/ despite having worn a hat.

• With in spite of/despite + -ing form , the subject of the principal verb must also deport out the activeness of the -ing verb .

X My sunburn was terrible in spite of/despite wearing a hat. (= My sunburn wore a lid)

 ( however / nevertheless )

However and nevertheless are used to express dissimilarity. However is formal. Nevertheless is even more formal.
The fashion show was expensive to put on. However / Nevertheless, it did make a profit.
The fashion evidence was expensive to put on. It did make a profit, however/however.
The fashion bear witness was expensive to put on. It did, however/nevertheless, brand a profit.
