Answer 1

Ответ:

1. I'd rather you had discussed installing new software with me before placing the order for it. (past perfect)

Explanation: "had discussed" is in the past perfect tense, which is appropriate here because the discussion should have taken place before the order was placed.

1. Had we known how effective the program was, we would have installed it long ago. (past perfect conditional)

Explanation: "Had we known" is a past perfect conditional, which expresses a hypothetical situation in the past. The phrase "would have installed" is also a past conditional, which is appropriate because it expresses the result of the hypothetical situation.

1. I don't know if he will come to work tomorrow; he changed his schedule. (future tense)

Explanation: "will come" is in the future tense, which is appropriate because the speaker is unsure if the person will come to work in the future.

1. It's high time we did something about the decline in the standard of literacy. (past tense)

Explanation: "did" is in the past tense, which is appropriate because the phrase "it's high time" indicates that action should have been taken in the past.

1. Even if we don't have the latest data, we can still discuss the changes to the sales projections at the meeting. (conditional)

Explanation: "Even if" is a conditional conjunction that introduces a hypothetical situation. The phrase "we don't have the latest data" is in the present tense, but it is appropriate here because it is a hypothetical situation that may or may not be true. The phrase "can still discuss" is in the present tense, which is appropriate because it expresses a possibility in the present or future.

1 I’d rather you had discussed installing new software with me before placing the order for it. (This expresses a past preference that was not fulfilled.) 2 Had we known how effective the program was, we would have installed it long ago. (This is a third conditional sentence that shows an unreal past situation and its consequence.) 3 I don’t know if he will come to work tomorrow; he changed his schedule. (This shows a future possibility that depends on another condition.) 4 It’s high time we did something about the decline in the standard of literacy. (This expresses urgency or impatience and uses a past tense verb after “it’s high time”.) 5 What if we don’t have the latest data, we can still discuss the changes to the sales projections at the meeting. (This introduces a hypothetical situation or a question.)
