Express the idea when you want someone to do something in the present or future: I don't want you to to meet him anymore.

I'd rather you hadn't met him anymore.

I'd rather you didn't meet him anymore.

I wish you met him anymore.

I wish you hadn't met him anymore.

When we need to express the idea when you want someone to do something in the present or future we usually use the construction [would rather + subject + Past Simple]. Other answers do not relate to the meaning.

If Sandra ___ (to take) a painkiller, she __ (to feel) better soon.

takes/feels

will take/will feel

will take/feels

takes/will feel

When we speak about probable situations in the present or future we use Conditional 1: If-clause (if + Present Simple) - Main Clause (future/modal + present without 'to')

If I _________ (to be) Fred I _______ (to think) several times before making such a tattoo.

were/would think

would be/thought

would be/would think

were/thought

When we speak about imaginary situations which differ from real facts in the present we use Conditional 2: If-clause (if + Past Simple) - Main Clause (would/could + present without 'to'). The meaning of this sentence: in reality Fred made a very strange tattoo.

If I __ (to find) this book, I __(to buy) it for you.

find/buy

will find/will buy

find/will buy

will find/buy

When we speak about probable situations in the present or future we use Conditional 1: If-clause (if + Present Simple) - Main Clause (future/modal + present without 'to')

Express disappointment with the present situation: Sarah has to work 6 days a week. She doesn't like it.

Sarah would work 6 days a week if she liked it.

Sarah wishes she didn't have to work 6 days a week.

If only Sarah had to work 6 days a week.

Sarah would work 6 days a week if she had to.

To express disappointment with the present situation we usually use the construction [ I + wish + Past Simple]. Other answers do not relate to the meaning.
