FOCUS ON GRAMMAR
1 Study the ‘Grammar Reference Charts’ and make up sentences. What rules and principles of sentence structuring can you name?
Forms Expressing Unreality
| We can find a great variety of forms expressing unreality in present-day English. These forms are: | |
| 1. | The plain stem of the verb for all persons. e.g. Ivory insisted that he be presents, in the most friendly fashion. They proposed that he borrow the money from the bank. |
| 2. | WERE – for all persons. e.g. I wish it were Sunday, |
| 3. | The form of the Past Simple. e.g. He looked as if he knew about it. |
| 4. | The form of the Past Perfect. e.g, He looked as if he had seen a ghost. |
| 5. | Should (1st and 3d singular) or Would + Infinitive e.g. If I had a garden, I should grow tulips. If he had a garden, he would grow tulips. |
| 6. | Should and Would + Perfect Infinitive e.g. If it hadn’t rained, I should have gone for a walk. If it hadn’t rained, he would have gone for a walk. |
2 Decide whether to use a bare infinitive or Unreal Past. Use the verbs in the box in a suitable form to fill the gaps.
| go · not stay · take · not go · meet · not make · come · walk |
1. We'd sooner you …………….. out too late.
2. She'd rather ………….. the bus than walk.
3. He'd prefer it if we ………….. too much noise.
4. I'd just as soon they ……….. tomorrow.
5. We'd sooner …………. to their party.
6. She'd prefer ………….. to the cinema.
7. I'd just as soon …………. to the shops; they're quite close, really.
8. He'd rather we………….. at his office than at mine.
Rewrite the sentences, starting with 'It's'. Each sentence should include the word time and any words given in brackets. Don't add any punctuation.

6. We should start thinking about our holidays (to).
7. We should have the birthday cake now (for).
8. I should be getting ready to go soon (thinking about)
4 Complete each sentence with one word. Negative contractions such as didn't count as one word. If there's a choice between was and were, you can use either.
1. I'd rather you …………. to see us in the afternoon. We'll be out in the morning.

10. If I was …………… do the washing up, would you clear the table.
11. We'd never have managed if it hadn't been …………… your help.
12. Don't you think it's time you ………….. some homework?
13. It sounds as though there …………. a party next door.
14. Wouldn't you rather ………….the washing up tomorrow?
Complete the second sentence so it has the same meaning as the first one, using the word given. Use between three and five words, including the word given.
1. To hear him talk you'd think he owned the place, wouldn't you?
IF
He talks ……………………… the place, doesn't he?
