Third conditional - past unreal situations

Exercise 1

Choose the correct form to make third conditional sentences.

Third conditional - Grammar Chart

If clause and main clause

We use if + past perfect to talk about an imaginary or hypothetical situation in the past. And we use would have, could have or might have + past participle in the main clauseto talk about the result or consequence of that imaginary situation.

If the jacket had been a bit cheaper, I might have bought it.

Comma

As with all conditional types, we use a comma after the if-clause when it goes at the beginning of the sentence, but we don't use a comma when the if-clause goes at the end.

Unless

We can also use unless in conditional sentences to mean if ... ( not)

I wouldn't have arrived on time unless I had taken a taxi.

= I wouldn't have arrived on time had if I n't taken a taxi.

Second and third conditionals - unreal conditionals

Exercise 1

Choose the correct forms of the second and third conditionals to complete the sentences.

Second conditional - Grammar chart

We use the second conditional to talk about hypothetical or imaginary situations in the present or the future. We can use past simple or past continuous in the if clause and we can use would, could or might + simple infinitive (do) or continuous infinitive (be doing) in the main clause.

When we use the verb be in the if clause, we can use either was (more formal) or were (spoken English) after I, he, she or it.But when we are giving advice, we always use if I were you (NOT was).

If wouldn't be living in this house. he was/were rich, he

If I were you, I'd call him as soon as possible. (NOT was)

As with all conditional types, we use a comma after the if clause when it goes at the beginning of the sentence, but we don't use a comma when the if clause goes at the end.

I could concentrate if you weren't making so much noise.

Third conditional - grammar chart

We use the third conditional to talk about hypothetical or imaginary situations in the past. We can use the past perfect simple or past perfect continuous in the if clause and we can use would, could or might + the perfect infinitive in the main clause.

First conditional - Grammar chart

If clause and main clause

All conditional sentences have two parts: the ifclause and the main clause. It doesn't matter which clause comes first, but when the if clause comes first, we should put a comma after it.

If + present, future

In the first conditional, the verb in the if clause is present and the verb in the main clause is future ( will).

Theif clause may have a present or a future meaning, but the verb is always in present (NOT future)

Main clause: will, modal verb, imperative

In the main clause, we can use may, might, can, must, should instead of will.

Or we can also use an imperative instead of will.

Unless = if (not)

We can also use unless in conditional sentences to mean if ... ( not)

Future time clauses - Grammar chart

When, as soon as, before, after, until

When we use a verb after when, as soon as, before, afteror until to talk about the future, we have to use this verb in present tense (NOT future). We use the future in the other part of the sentence.

Similar to first conditional

Future time clauses are similar to the first conditional. There's a main clause and a when/after/etc. clause. We use the verbs in these clauses like in the first conditional.

We use a comma when the when/after/etc. clause is at the beginning of the sentence. But we don't use a comma if the when/after... clause is at the end of the sentence.

We use present in the when/after/etc. clause and we use future in the main clause.

In the main clause, we can also use may, might, can, must, should or an imperative instead of will.

IELTS Speaking Test | TECHNOLOGY - IELTS Speaking Sample Answer  with tape script.         ELTS Speaking Test

Part 1
E: Do you enjoy using technology?
C: Well, I suppose that most of us like using modern equipment such as mobile phone, laptop or VR glasses etc. In my case, I especially enjoy using my laptop which has become an essential piece of equipment for any one of us.
E: Which item of technology do you use most often?
C: Honestly, I guess that I can’t live without my iPhone which I think that is the greatest breakthrough of the technological age.
E: When did you first learn to use a computer?
C: When I was little, my parent has known that computer plays an important role in modern life, so they bought me a computer as they want me to be a computer literate.
E: Do you use the internet for your work/studies?
C: Yes, of course. I suppose that the computer, the Internet, and smartphones are some of the most significant innovations of the early 20th century. The use of computers in education and work with many possible applications which allow us in order to make more breakthrough of the technological age.

Part 2
E: Thank you very much. Let’s move on cue card topic. Here’s the question:
Describe a piece of electronic equipment that you find useful
You should say:
What it is
How you learned to use it
How long you have had it
And explain why you find this piece of electronic equipment useful
I’d like you to speak on this topic in 2 minutes. Before that, you have 1 minute to prepare. And here’s some paper and pen for you to make some notes if you wish.
…1 minute…
Well, could you please begin.

Well, because we’re living in the computer age so I really want to tell you something about my iPhone to which I’m nearly addicted. Especially in modern life, my parent supposed that people need to know how to use electric equipment effectively so they bought me a computer when I was a student and I’ve started using it for a long time and by now, iPhone is absolutely my great device in particular and essential equipment in modern society in general.
Honestly, I think that my mobile phone helps me in different ways from my study to my work or communication. Moreover, when I get back home from work, I can play songs on it. Besides, sometimes, my husband and I watch thrilling movies too on this phone. In fact, it has become an essential part of my life. In addition, I also use my iPhone for various purposes such as playing games, taking photographs and checking my emails etc. My from my point of view, the smartphone has become a truly useful equipment for both individual and society in modern life. Especially, I guess that with only a smartphone and the Internet, there is a diverse range of great smartphone applications or apps available these days which brings us an extremely easy way to access information or a huge convenience in online education etc. 
In conclusion, I actually believe that it’s pretty hard for people today living without the modern equipment and technology devices.

Part 3
E: Thank you very much.
Let’s move on to discussion topic related to Technology.
E: Do you agree that some people use technology for communication too much?
C: Well, I just partly agree with this statement because we can’t deny the advantages of using technology for communication. For example, it’s great for people to talk online with each other on various topics via chat rooms. Moreover, in this technological age, it’s definitely useful with social media, which we can use to interact with other people, open our network and solve things rapidly. However, I suppose that in some cases, the spread of technology has brought increased loneliness for some people. 
E: What differences are there between the attitudes of older and younger people to technology for communication?
C: I guess that in modern life, both the elder and the young need new devices, new ways, and technology to make their lives easier, especially in communication. However, the youth understand and know how to use a variety of way to communicate, while the elder just uses some simple ways such as email or Facebook. Besides, for some, the youth are more dependent on technology for communication than the elder.
E: Would you agree that the rapid development of digital technology has had a positive impact on the world of work?
C: Yes, I do think that there is a risk of addiction to such things as smartphone apps and Facebook for the youth. Moreover, there is job loss is where production is becoming more automated and human labor is replaced as a result. In addition, the more we use the technology, the more dependent we are. Especially, a hacking tool can be used for hacking purposes which lead to the severe consequence
