MIXED CONDITIONALS
We can form
mixed conditionals, if the context permits it, by combining an if-clause from
one type with a main clause from another.
If-clause |
Main clause |
Type 2 If she got
back late last night,
Type 2 If you were
more sensible,
Type 3 If she hadn’t
missed the bus, |
Type 1 she won’t
come to work today.
Type 3 you wouldn’t
have spoken to your boss like that.
Type 2 She would be
here now. |
If-clause
(type 2) – Main clause (type 1)
