To form the if clause of mixed conditionals we use.

00:04.940 --> 00:14.210
If plus pass perfect and the main clause would plus Ferb have a look at the examples below.

00:14.280 --> 00:24.780
If Kate had studied more she would have a better GPA if he had started painting the picture in June.

00:24.780 --> 00:26.790
It would be finished and now

00:29.960 --> 00:32.190
welcome to Mr. Tawil.

00:32.210 --> 00:36.530
Today we're going to talk about mixed conditionals.

00:36.590 --> 00:38.090
Let's get started.

00:39.840 --> 00:47.280
Remember that conditionals aren't sentences with two clauses a main clause and an if clause.

00:47.280 --> 00:53.340
Now conditionals think that the action in the main clause can only take place if a certain condition

00:53.600 --> 00:56.360
in the if clause is fulfilled.

00:56.370 --> 00:59.270
Have a look at the example over here.

00:59.460 --> 01:02.010
If we don't hurry we will be late.

01:02.730 --> 01:10.320
Now this is a conditional sentence and it's used to state that the action in the main clause being late

01:10.620 --> 01:15.470
will take place if we don't hurry.

01:15.610 --> 01:23.740
Now there are five main types of conditionals in English and amongst them are mixed conditionals now

01:23.740 --> 01:30.190
mixed conditionals referred to conditional sentences that combine two different types of conditional

01:30.190 --> 01:38.200
patterns the mixed conditional is used to refer to a time in the path and a situation that is ongoing

01:38.470 --> 01:40.100
in the present.

01:40.120 --> 01:48.480
Have a look at the example below if I had won the lottery I would buy a huge house.

01:48.700 --> 01:56.390
Now this means that I didn't win the lottery in the past and I'm living in a small apartment right now.

01:58.740 --> 02:05.940
Now the most common mixed conditional is when we have a third conditional in the if clause.

02:06.100 --> 02:15.030
If plus past perfect followed by a second conditional would close the B's form of the verb in the main

02:15.030 --> 02:16.260
clause.

02:16.260 --> 02:24.330
Note that the order of the main and if clause is not fixed although when the if clause precedes the

02:24.330 --> 02:28.900
main one make sure to use a comma.

02:28.930 --> 02:34.850
Now the less common mixed conditional is when we have a second conditional in the if clause.

02:35.050 --> 02:44.530
If plus past simple followed by a third conditional would have plus past participle the mean clause.

02:44.560 --> 02:52.660
Now this conditional refers to an unreal present situation and it's possible but on real past result

02:53.540 --> 02:56.800
have a look at the example below.

02:56.860 --> 03:06.860
If I weren't afraid of flying I would have travelled by air meaning that I am afraid of flying in general.

03:07.210 --> 03:10.000
In that time I travelled by train.
