Message de bridg posté le 22-01-2006 à 16:17:53 (S | E | F | I)
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.
Second edition It’s your turn
the last sentence was
If I go to the great restaurant, I will meet a lot of celebrities.
If I went to the great restaurant, I would meet a lot of celebrities.
If I had gone to the great restaurant, I would have met a lot of celebrities.
