Could you please describe the texts we should be able to write? (It only says I can write speeches and after that the sentences are cut off)

UH reply to Jonathan's request

ullihorak — 2024-05-25 11:46:24 UTC

Of course!

It is very easy, as it will be some kind of award speech - either presentation or acceptance speech.

Find a very detailed template for that in the writing column and be prepare for a special speech 🤩

Dear Miss Horak,

when practecing for the 4th English exam, I wondered how we could differentiate the different clauses just by the given sencance. For exaple "If the pilots ________ (go) on a strike, there _________ (be) a complete choas." This is listed as a sentence with the 2nd Conditional - even though this already happened and is possible. Now how should we see the difference. Is the gap now optional or will you give us strict advices like "form the 2nd conditional"?

Yours sincerely,

Jojo

UH reply to Jojo

ullihorak — 2024-05-26 14:56:47 UTC

Clever question!
If there is no definite clue in the sentence if it refers to the past or the present, then it is optional which conditional you use. In the test you will only find “ choose the appriopriate conditional” in the instructions and certainly NOT something such as “fill in the 2nd conditional”
💫

Emanuel437 — 2024-05-27 16:08:11 UTC

Use a comma to separate a dependent clause from an independent clause.

In the solutions for the “Mixed conditional_oscar context“ the solutions for the 7th sentence say it is a conditional 1, but there is no will. Can you please explain when to use a will and when not, or is it a conditional 0.

Reply to Max: conditional without will

ullihorak — 2024-05-28 13:56:54 UTC

When the main clause (not the if clause) is a request, a suggestion or an order:
eg. If you read this, please reply immediately.
If you like this book, just buy it.
If you don’t show up tomorrow morning, call the office before 7am.

Conditional 0
refers to a natural truth:
If the glass falls down from this table, it breaks.
If you cross the busy street when the lights are still red, you are in danger.
If you heat water to 100 degrees, it boils.
