Пока они ехали, из рюкзака не доносилось ни звука и Куджо подумал, что малыш просто наелся, согрелся и уснул. Но когда они уже подъезжали к городу, он осторожно заглянул в рюкзак и …. никого там не увидел! Что же случилось с малышом? Неужели он выполз из сумки и остался в деревне? Что с ним будет, если они его не найдут и не помогут?

Unit 3

Conditional Sentences (unreal condition of present and future)

⠀

We use these sentences to express imaginary situations which are contrary to facts in the present and, therefore, are unlikely to happen in the present or future.

The structure is:

Subject + would (could, might) + V0 if subject + Past Simple or Past Continuous.

If Luna’s parents weren’t so superstitious, they wouldn’t object to the pup.

We usually use were instead of was for all persons in the if-clause:

If I were him, I’d read more about bats.

The following expressions can be used instead of if: provided/providing that, as long as, suppose/supposing, etc.

Suppose you met a vampire bat, what would you do?

EXERCISE 1

Put the verbs in brackets into the correct form of the Unreal Conditional

1 If Kudjo /can/ play football, he /become/ the most famous football player.

2 If he /have/ a car, he /drive/ to the country to look for the pup.

3 How you /feel/ if you /be/ in the pup’s situation? No family, no food, no help.

4 If the pup /not be/ so little, he /survive/ in the wild.

5 Luna and Kudjo /be/ happy if the parents /allow/ them to keep the pup at home.

6 Luna’s parents /not let/ her take the pup unless she /behave/ herself and /promise/ to take good care of it.

7 If Kudjo /can/, he /help/ all bats in the world.

EXERCISE 2

Finish the sentences with the correct form of real or unreal conditionals:

For example,

3 If Kudjo finds the pup, ….

4 Kudjo’s life would be more comfortable and quiet if…

5 When Kudjo goes to Japan, ….

6 They would look after the pup if ….

7 If Kudjo could, ….

EXERCISE 3

Look at the situations and make sentences using real and unreal conditionals:

For example,

Luna’s parents are afraid of bats and so they won’t allow Luna to have it at home. – If Luna’s parents weren’t afraid of bats, they would allow Luna to have it at home.

1 People are scared of bats because they associate them with vampires.

2 The sun might come out later, and they will have another picnic.

3 Luna can’t make up her mind about who to talk first- mum or dad. She has just asked Kudjo for advice.

4 Kudjo has done all his jigsaw puzzles and now he is bored to death.

5 He doesn’t like rain and puddles so he is staying all day at home.

6 Luna has bought an awful collar. Should Kudjo tell her the truth?

7 Luna is crying. Her parents forbid her to take the pup.

EXERCISE 4

Put the verb in brackets in the correct form of unreal conditional and guess the last word of the sentence:

Kudjo’s dreams:

1 If I /be/ a bird or a bat, I /fly/ to other *****.
