GRAMMAR FOCUS
mixed conditionals
Mixed conditionals refer to conditional sentences formed by combining two conditional sentence patterns.The most common pattern is a mix of third and second conditional. With this, we refer toan unreal pastaction and its probable result in the present. For example,
		If he had gone to law school, he would be a lawyer by now.
		
( But he didn’t go to law school, so he is not a lawyer now.)		Another pattern is a combination of second and third conditional where the if-clause refers to an
untrue present situation and the main clause is the related past event. For example,
		If she wasn’t so greedy, she would have inherited the old house.
		(But she is greedy so she didn’t inherit the house. )The other one is a second conditional and future probability combination. This refers to an imagined situation in the present and its probable consequence in the future. This is usually		
If my Dad didn’t have to go on a business trip, we would be on a holiday trip this next
			weekend.
		(But Dad has to go on a business trip so we will not go on a holiday trip.)
