Conditional sentences with mixed time frames are those sentences in which the second conditional uses the

simple past in the if clause and would have and a verb in past participle in the result clause for example: If I werent a teacher, I would have been rejected. Im a teacher. I was not rejected. This example shows how a situation in the present affects another situation in the past. The second contitional normally uses simple past and would plus a verb, but this does not occur in mixed time frames. The third conditional in mixed time frame uses past perfect in the if clause and would plus base form of the verb in the result clause to show how a situation from the past affects another situation in the present for example: If I hadnt eaten so much, my jeans would fit now. I ate a lot. My jeans dont fit now. Respuesta:

MIXED CONDITIONAL SENTENCES

It is possible for the two parts of a conditional sentence to refer to different times, and the resulting sentence is a mixed conditional sentence. There are two types of mixed conditional sentence: A. Present result of past condition: 1. Form The tense in the if clause is the past perfect, and the tense in the main clause is the present conditional:

IF CLAUSE If + past perfect If I had worked harder at school If we had looked at the map
2. Function

MAIN CLAUSE Present conditional I would have a better job now. we wouldnt be lost.

In these sentences, the time is past in the if clause, and present in the main clause. They refer to an unreal past

condition and its probable result in the present. They express a situation which is contrary to reality both in the past
and in the present: If I had worked harder at school is contrary to past fact I didnt work hard at school, and I would have a better job

now is contrary to present fact I havent got a good job. If we had looked at the map (we didnt), we wouldnt be lost (we are lost).
Examples:

I would be a millionaire now if I had taken that job. If youd caught that plane youd be dead now. If you hadnt spent all your money on CDs, you wouldnt be broke.

B. Past result of present or continuing condition. 1. Form The tense in the If-clause is the simple past, and the tense in the main clause is the perfect conditional:

IF CLAUSE If + simple past If I wasnt afraid of spiders If we didnt trust him

MAIN CLAUSE Perfect conditional I would have picked it up. we would have sacked him months ago.

2. Function In these sentences the time in the If-

clause is now or always, and the time in the main clause is before now. They refer to an unreal present situation and its probable (but unreal) past result:

If I wasnt afraid of spiders is contrary to present reality I am afraid of spiders, and I would have picked it up is contrary to past reality I didnt pick it up. If we didnt trust him is contrary to present reality we do trust him, and we would have sacked him is contrary to past reality we havent sacked him.
Examples: a. If she wasnt afraid of flying she wouldnt have travelled by boat. b. Id have been able to translate the letter if my Italian was better. c. If I was a good cook, Id have invited them to lunch. d. If the elephant wasnt in love with the mouse, shed have trodden on him by now.
