size, it would look perfect
on me.
If I were rich, I would
have ordered two different
sizes of the same dress.
2. Read the sentences below and answer the questions.
If I had selected the correct size, it would look perfect on me.
a) Did she select the correct size? Does the dress look perfect on her?
Is this sentence about the past or the present? Can she change what
happened? Is it about a real situation or an imaginary situation?
b) Which verb form comes after if? Which verb form do we use in the
main clause of the sentence? Make this sentence negative. Can we
use any other verbs besides would in the main clause?

Ответ:

a) The correct size was not selected, and the dress does not look perfect on her. This sentence is about the past, referring to an imaginary situation that cannot be changed.

b) The verb form after "if" is "had selected," and the verb form in the main clause is "would look." To make the sentence negative, you can say, "If I had not selected the correct size, it wouldn't look perfect on me." Other verbs like "could" or "might" can be used in the main clause.

c) The main clause cannot go before the if-clause. A comma is needed between the main clause and the if-clause.

d) She is not rich, and she did not order two different sizes of the dress. This sentence is about an imaginary situation in the present.

e) The verb form after "if" is "were," and the verb form in the main clause is "would have ordered." Other verbs like "could" or "might" can be used in the main clause.

f) The main clause cannot go before the if-clause. A comma is needed between the main clause and the if-clause.
