How do you make past conditionals?
Use to talk about something that could have happened, but didn't, or should not have happened, but did.
оқуды бастаңыз
If + past perfect + would + have + past participle

Instead of if + past perfect, two of the conditional sentences use alternative forms. What forms are they?
paragraph 4; paragraph 9
оқуды бастаңыз
But for his advice, I would have...; Had I done this I would have...
paragraph 4; paragraph 9
Are these forms more or less formal than an if clause?
оқуды бастаңыз
more formal
Look at the conditional sentence in paragraph 6. Do both clauses refer to the past? What forms are used?
If I'd known...; I'd be selling insurance today.
оқуды бастаңыз
No, they don't. The first clause refers to the past; but the second clause refers to the present
past perfect; present continuous
Why do you think this is sometimes called a "mixed conditional"?
оқуды бастаңыз
It's called a mixed conditional because it mixes different time periods (past and present)
Two of the phrases to describe regrets use the same verb tense. What tense is this?
оқуды бастаңыз
past perfect
Use regret + gerund, if only + past perfect or wish + past perfect to say we want something in the past to have been different.
Rule 1 Use if + past perfect and would + present continuous/present simple
оқуды бастаңыз
to form a mixed conditional
Rule 2 Use a mixed conditional
оқуды бастаңыз
to say that if something in the past had been different, the present would be different.
