Grammar Exercise Mixed Conditionals

Grammar Exercise Mixed Conditionals I had a Spanish class this morning and my teacher worked with me on the subjunctive tense. Soas payback Ive created a lesson on mixed conditionals.Just kidding, about the payback part. Although I did realize how confusing it gets when you are trying to speak in a mixture of times, which is what we do during normal conversations. Unfortunately or fortunately we dont usually speak in a formulaic manner, so during conversation we talk about the future and the past and the present all at the same time. Here is a somewhat formulaic look at mixing our times in conditionals:Watch the video and try the exercise below: 1. If you __________ (insulted) him yesterday, he _______ __ ____ to the wedding tomorrow. 2. If she __________ (accepts) the promotion, she ____ __ ____ to Brazil in 2015. (future using will) 3. I ________ ______ (speak) fluent Spanish, if I ____ lived in Spain for 10 years. 4. He _____ _____ ____ (left), if he ____ _____ (known) you were coming. Joan Oh, man now that I got the I, II and III conditionals, the mixed conditionals appear so those conditionals have nothing to do with the other ones?Lets see 1. If you hadnt insulted him yesterday, he would go to the wedding tomorrow. 2. If she had accepted the promotion, she will go to Brazil in 2015. (future using will) 3. I would speak fluent Spanish, if I had lived in Spain for 10 years. 4. He wouldnt have left, if he had known you were coming. But the 4th one is not the III type conditional? Now Im lost. Jesús Castañé Hi. I disagree with Joan in the first and second. Here my try.1.- If you hadn`t insulted him yesterday, he would be going to the wedding tomorrow. 2.- She accepted the promotion, she will go to Brazil in 2015 3.- I would speak fluent Spanish, if I had lived in Spain for 10 years. 4.- He wouldnt have left if he had known you were coming.Thanks in advance. Joan I really have problems with mixed conditionals. I thought there were only 3 types, and now I discover there are more of them. Why dont they teach them as type iV, V VI and so on? I dont get it. MarvinOB 1. If you hadn ´t insulted him yesterday, he would be going to the wedding tomorrow. 2. If she had accepted the promotion, she would be going to Brazil in 2015. (future using will) 3. I would speak fluent Spanish, if I had lived in Spain for 10 years. 4. He wouldn ´t have left, if he had known you were coming. LOIEnglish Perfect!
