    Mixed Conditionals

    • Mixed conditionals combine different tenses to express hypothetical situations in the past, present, and future.
    • Type 1: If + past simple, would + infinitive
    • Type 2: If + past perfect, would + have + past participle
    • Type 3: If + past perfect, would + infinitive
    • Example 1: If I hadn't lost my phone (past perfect, unreal past), I would have been able to follow us (would + have + past participle, unreal past).
    • Example 2: We don't have access to convenient networks (present simple, real present), so we couldn't get the data to us (couldn't, unreal past).
    • Example 3: If I had told my husband about the surprise (past perfect, unreal past), he wouldn't have done it (would + infinitive, unreal present).
    • Example 4: We cancelled our holiday (past simple, real past), and now we aren't having fun at the beach (present continuous, real present).
    • Example 5: She wouldn't spend her holiday in the meaning don't take back (would + infinitive, unreal present).
