If I were a mother-in-law, my son-in-law wouldn't love gardening from time to time, he would adore gardening and digging, or... Well, you already know i like axes, hammers and screwdrivers biggrin.gif

 

Oh it`s absolutely different thing. If you were my mother-in-law, I would do gardening all year without rest rolleyes.gif rofl.gif rofl.gif

 

 

Well, ladies and gentlemen, now we can see what an axe, a hammer and a screwdriver can do with a man. Gardening without rest, fantastic!

I`m sure you will guess this classical novel without problem. The prize is a barrel of Czech beer.

"If I were a mother-in-law, my son-in-law wouldn't love gardening from time to time, he would adore gardening and digging, or... Well, you already know i like axes, hammers and screwdrivers"

 

Why do you use 'were'? 'I'-pronoun singular.

Do you like axes, hammers, screwdrivers? You are strong lady!

[Molly Malone 4 452]

Why do you use 'were'? 'I'-pronoun singular.

 

Serdar,

 

in such "If" constructions were is more preferable than was:

 

If he were here, i would kiss him (or kill)

 

I have a big house and a garden, so i have to love axes, hammers and expecially screwdrivers

You are strong lady!

 

Yes, i am as strong as a horse...a little horse

[Serdar 2]

Molly Malone

 

Do you like horses and riding?

[Molly Malone 4 452]

Do you like horses and riding? smile.gif

 

Well...actually i prefer cats

 

And do you like horses, Serdar?

That sounds familiar...

Is the author russian?

[Lady LG 4 159]

If I were a mother-in-law

Why do you use 'were'?

Molly! You didn't answer Serdar's question. You should have translated this construction into Russian.

Условные предложения I типа в самых простых словах:

 

Если погода будет хорошей, мы пойдем гулять.

В русском языке в обеих частях употребляем будущее время.

В англ. языке в условной части вместо будущего употребляется настоящее

If the weather is fine, we shall go for a walk.

Это реальное условие, т.е. событие может произойти в будущем.

 

Условные предложения II типа Это нереальное условие: предложения типа: Если бы да кабы... , относятся к настоящему времени.

Если бы погода была хорошей, мы бы пошли гулять.

(А она сейчас плохая и мы не идем)

Опускаем глаголы "на ступеньку" ниже, в прошедшее, но вместо WAS лучше всегда говорить WERE

If the weather were fine, we would go for a walk.

 

Еще несколько примеров на I и II тип:

If I HAVE money, I'll buy a car. (если будут..... то куплю)

If I HAD money, I would buy a car. (если бы были,... то купил бы, а их нет)

If he IS here, he will help us. (если будет... то поможет)

If he WERE here, he would help us. (если бы он был... то помог бы, а его нет)

 

Есть еще III тип (к прошедшему времени)
