Kwame gave us this game in French.
It was a good idea in order to acquire some sequences of tenses automatisms. Why not try in English by complicating a little bit the exercise and find both sentences according to the following model:
If + present => future
If you invite me to the cinema I will accept with pleasure.
If + preterit => conditional present
If you invited me to the cinema I would accept with pleasure.
If + pluperfect => past conditional
If you had invited me to the cinema I would have accepted with pleasure.
It’s your turn
If I accept ….
If I accepted …
If I had accepted …

Hey laydown, your exercise is wrong, you have to finish the sentences with the same end!
And also, Bridg, I think with my sentence there is a mistake! Because, can we say "If I had to..."? It looks very weird!
I agree with "If I would have to..." but that one up looks wrong.

Ok Lucile
but I figured out where come this mistake! I always say in French " si j'aurais " and I know that is false since we have to say "si j'avais" hence this rule for those who are learning French "les si n'aiment pas les rais" so "si j'aurais" is impossible!Well sorry for this bracket, now I carry on with the exercise:
If I send you a message urgently it will means I need you.
If I sent you a message urgently it would mean I need you.

Hello! First, my turn.
If I dream of being a blue bird, I will wake up chirping!
If I dreamt of being a blue bird, I would wake up chirping!
If I had dreamt of being a blue bird, I would have woken up chirping!
Next, a few comments on the English of the previous posts:
1) We make the same mistake in English that magma mentioned in French; that is, we say "If I would have" instead of "If I had"! (Although, "If I would have" could be correct, but it would mean "Si j'acceptais de".)
2) I would never say "workless", but rather "unemployed". Perhaps "workless" is the British term. (I know that "werkloze" is the word in Dutch.)
3) We never say "I understood now"; the preterit cannot be used with "now"! While the present perfect is possible, it is useless here, because if you "have understood", then you understand!
4) You "have" a meal, you don't "take" it. This particular sense of "have" is compatible with the progressive tense. ("We're having breakfast now.")
4) You dream "of" something. (If this thing is a verb, you use the gerund, as is always the case after a preposition.)
5)
Have a good evening.
(This sense of "have" is also compatible with the progressive tense: "I'm having a great evening!" )-------------------

Hello Lucile
Sauf erreur, la dernière phrase ne devrait-elle pas être, ainsi que je l'avais mentionné, "we would have came back :
"If + pluperfect => past conditional. participe passé de Come = came ?
Réponse: If game de bridg, postée le 05-12-2005 à 19:07:24 (S | E)
He non nanette
to come / came / come c'est donc bien come qu'il fallait et non le preterit.

cece, we write succeed and not succed and moreover you should have kept on with the same end as maya did
Well never mind I'm carrying on with yours.
If I invite you to the restaurant, I'll pay only for myself.

Salut cece, j'ai voulu dire que succeed s'écrit avec deux "e" et non un seul et qu'en plus tu aurais du continuer le jeu avec la fin de la phrase employée par maya c'est-à-dire : If I come back.... If I came back..... If I had come back....
Ce n'est pas grave t'inquiète, tu peux (et dois
) continuer avec ma phrase now!Réponse: If game de cece77, postée le 22-01-2006 à 00:06:05 (S | E)
