Unit 4
Conditional sentences (unreal condition of past)
The past unreal conditional form, also known as the third conditional or conditional 3, is used to express imagined situations that would have happened differently under other hypothetical circumstances. We imagine a condition or situation in the past which was impossible or didn’t happen.
The structure is:
– If + subject + past perfect, subject + would have + V3.
If Kudjo and Luna hadn’t found the letters, they wouldn’t have found out about the treasure.
EXERCISE 1
Put the verbs in brackets into the correct form of the past unreal conditional:
1 If Kudjo and Luna /not want/ to find the letters, they /not go/ to Luna’s country house last weekend.
2 If they /not go/ to Luna’s country house, they /not climb/ to the attic.
3 If they /not climb/ to the attic, they /not alarm/ bats there.
4 If they /not alarm/ bats, the little pup /not get/ frightened.
5 If the pup /not get/ frightened, it /not get/ stuck in a crack.
6 If it /not get/ stuck in a crack, it /fly/ away with its family.
7 If it /fly/ away with its family, it /not leave/ on its own.
8 If it /not leave/ alone, Kudjo /not find/ it in the tree.
EXERCISE 2
Put the verb in the correct form of the unreal conditional of past and answer the questions:
1 What you /do/ if you /find/ half a worm in the apple you were eating?
2 If you /be/ born a hundred years earlier, how your life /be/ different?
3 If you /allow/ to eat whatever you wanted in your childhood, what you /eat/?
4 What you /do/ if you /smash/ your friend’s laptop?
5 If for your last birthday a friend /present/ you a picture she had painted and you didn’t like it, you /put/ it on the wall in your house?
6 What you /do/ if you /see/ a huge spider in your bath last night?
7 What you /do/ if you /come/ home from shopping and /realise/ that you had forgotten to pay for something expensive?
8 What you /do/ yesterday if you /tell/ that all of us had only two days to live?
EXERCISE 3
Look at the situations and make sentences using the unreal conditional of past:
For example,
Kudjo fell off the wall and hurt his paw very much.– If Kudjo hadn’t fallen off the wall, he wouldn’t have hurt his paw.
1 Luna slipped on a banana skin. She twisted her leg.
2 Luna wanted to make tea. She burnt her paws with boiling water.
3 Luna’s mum dropped the iron. She burned her paw.
4 Luna’s dad didn’t drive carefully. He crashed his car.
5 Luna fell down the stairs. She hurt her knee.
6 Luna’s dad walked into a lamp post. He bumped his head.
7 Luna’s mum didn’t slice the bread carefully. She cut her paw badly.
8 Luna didn’t look where she was going. She crashed into a dustbin.
Has something triggered the curse of Luna’s family?
EXERCISE 4

5 If Luna’s parents had told them the truth from the very beginning,…
6 Kudjo and Luna would have thrown the box away if ….
7 If they had known why the bats were occupying the attic, ….
8 If bats hadn’t flown away, ….
EXERCISE 5
Put the verb in brackets in the correct form of conditional sentences and guess the last word of the sentence:
1 If the bats hadn’t been alarmed, they /continue/ roosting in the attic and protecting the *****.
2 If nobody helps the little pup, it /not survive/ in the *****.
3 Kudjo and Luna would have helped the pup if it /not escape/ from *****.
