Expressing

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.
