Witam wszystkich!

Dzisiejsza mini lekcja dotyczy używania słowa ‘would’ jako formy grzecznościowej.

W języku angielskim często mówimy rzeczy w mniej bezpośredni sposób, aby być uprzejmym. Jednym ze sposobów na uczynienie rzeczy mniej bezpośrednimi jest użycie słowa ‘would’, zwłaszcza z czasownikami takimi jak ‘imagine’, ‘suggest’ lub ‘recommend’. ‘Would’ nadaje zdaniu wyimaginowane lub hipotetyczne odczucie, wrażenie ‘miękkości’ wypowiedzi.

• Zamiast mówić ‘the answer isn’t correct’, uprzejmiej jest powiedzieć ‘I would imagine that the answer isn't correct’
• Zamiast mówić ‘do it again’, uprzejmiej jest powiedzieć ‘I would suggest doing it again’.
• Zamiast mówić ‘you should get a new car’, uprzejmiej jest powiedzieć ‘I would recommend getting a new car’.

Powtórzmy! Utwórz zdania w mniej bezpośredniej formie.

1. You should arrive early. (recommend)
2. The report needs more work. (imagine)
3. You should save more money. (recommend)
4. Change the tickets. (suggest)
5. You should eat less sugar. (recommend)
6. Study more. (suggest)
7. The boss has made a mistake. (imagine)
8. These numbers are not right. (imagine)
9. Work more on this report. (suggest)
10. Answer all the emails. (suggest)

Odpowiedzi:
11. I would recommend arriving early.
12. I would imagine that the report needs more work.
13. I would recommend saving more money.
14. I would suggest changing the tickets.
15. I would recommend eating less sugar.

Hello everyone!

Today's mini lesson is about using 'would' to be polite.

In English, we often say things in a less direct way, in order to be polite. One way to make things less
direct is to use 'would', especially with a verb like 'imagine', 'suggest' or 'recommend'. 'Would' gives
the sentence an imaginary or hypothetical feeling.

• Instead of saying 'the answer isn't correct', it's more polite to say 'I would imagine that the
answer isn't correct'.
• Instead of saying 'do it again', it's more polite to say 'I would suggest doing it again'.
• Instead of saying 'you should get a new car', it's more polite to say 'I would recommend
getting a new car'.

Let's review! Make these sentences less direct.

1. You should arrive early. (recommend)
2. The report needs more work. (imagine)
3. You should save more money. (recommend)
4. Change the tickets. (suggest)
5. You should eat less sugar. (recommend)
6. Study more. (suggest)
7. The boss has made a mistake. (imagine)
8. These numbers are not right. (imagine)
9. Work more on this report. (suggest)
10. Answer all the emails. (suggest)

Answers:
1. I would recommend arriving early.
2. I would imagine that the report needs more work.
3. I would recommend saving more money.
4. I would suggest changing the tickets.
5. I would recommend eating less sugar.
6. I would suggest studying more.
7. I would imagine that the boss has made a mistake.
8. I would imagine that these numbers are not right.
9. I would suggest working more on this report.
10. I would suggest answering all the emails.

Witam wszystkich!

Dzisiaj poznamy ostatni tryb warunkowy, czyli- Trzeci Tryb Warunkowy.

Trzeci Tryb Warunkowy mówi o przeszłości. Jest używany do opisania sytuacji, która się nie wydarzyła i do wyobrażenia sobie wyniku tej sytuacji.

Podobnie jak inne zdania warunkowe, zdanie z użyciem trzeciegu trybu warunkowego składa się z dwóch klauzul, klauzuli ‘if’ i klauzuli ‘głównej’:

If + podmiot + Past Perfect, podmiot + would/could/might + have + Past Participle

Przykład:
If I had studied harder, I probably would have passed the exam. (Oblałem egzamin, bo nie uczyłem się wystarczająco ciężko)

Jest często używany do wyrażania krytyki lub żalu:
Krytyka:
If you had driven more carefully, you would not have had an accident. (Gdybyś jechał ostrożnie, nie miałbyś wypadku)
If you had saved your money, you could have bought a computer. (Gdybyś oszczędzał pieniądze, mógłbyś kupić komputer)

Żal:
If we had played a little better, we could have won the game. (Gdybyśmy grali trochę lepiej, nie przegralibyśmy meczu)

Hello everyone!

Today we will learn about the last conditional, which is- Third Conditional.

Third Conditional talks about the past. It's used to describe a situation that didn't happen, and to imagine the result of this situation.

Like the other conditionals, a third conditional sentence consists of two clauses, an ‘if’ clause and a ‘main clause’:

If + subject + Past Perfect, subject + would/could/might + have + Past Participle

Example:
If I had studied harder, I probably would have passed the exam. (I failed the exam, because I didn't study hard enough)

It is often used to express criticism or regret:
Criticism:
If you had driven more carefully, you would not have had an accident. (You had an accident because you didn't drive carefully enough)
If you had saved your money, you could have bought a computer. (You didn't save your money, so now you can't afford a computer)

Regret:
If we had played a little better, we could have won the game. (Regret: We didn't play well, so we lost the game)
If it had snowed, we could have gone skiing. (It didn't snow, so we couldn't go skiing)

Exercise:
1. If you ______________ (not / be) late, we ______________ (not / miss) the bus.
2. If she ______________ (study), she ______________ (pass) the exam.
3. If we ______________ (arrive) earlier, we ______________ (see) John.
4. If they ______________ (go) to bed early, they ______________ (not / wake) up late.
5. If he ______________ (become) a musician, he ______________ (record) a CD.
6. If she ______________ (go) to art school, she ______________ (become) a painter.
7. If I ______________ (be) born in a different country, I ______________ (learn) to speak a different language.
8. If she ______________ (go) to university, she ______________ (study) French.
9. If we ______________ (not / go) to the party, we ______________ (not / meet) them.
10. If he ______________ (take) the job, he ______________ (not / go) travelling.

Answers:
1. If you hadn’t been late, we wouldn't have missed the bus.
2. If she had studied, she would have passed the exam.
3. If we had arrived earlier, we would have seen John.

Witam wszystkich!

Dzisiaj będziemy kontynuować naszą przygodę w świecie Trybów Warunkowych i skupimy się na Drugim Trybie Warunkowym.

Drugi tryb warunkowy używa Past Simple po ’if’, a następnie ‘will’ i ‘Infinitive’ (bezokolicznik):

if + Past Simple + would + bezokolicznik

(Możemy użyć 'were' zamiast 'was' z 'I' i ‘he/she/it'. Odbywa się to głównie w formie pisemnej).

Ma dwa zastosowania.
Po pierwsze, możemy go użyć, aby porozmawiać o rzeczach, które prawdopodobnie nie będą prawdziwe/nie staną się rzeczywistością w przyszłości. Może na przykład wyobrażam sobie jakiś sen/marzenie.

If I won the lottery, I would buy a big house. (Prawdopodobnie nie wygram na loterii)
If I met the Queen of England, I would say hello. (Prawdopodobnie nigdy jej nie spotkam)
She would travel all over the world if she were rich. Prawdopodobnie nigdy nie będzie tak bogata)
She would pass the exam if she ever studied. (Nigdy się nie uczy, więc to się nie stanie)

Po drugie, możemy go użyć do mówienia o czymś w teraźniejszości, co jest niemożliwe, bo to nieprawda. Czy to jasne? Spójrz na przykłady:

If I had his number, I would call him. (Nie mam teraz jego numeru, więc nie mogę do niego zadzwonić).
If I were you, I wouldn't go out with that man.

Czym różni się to od Pierwszego Trybu Warunkowego?
Ten rodzaj zdania warunkowego różni się od Pierwszego Trybu Warunkowego, ponieważ jest o wiele mniej prawdopodobne że coś o czym rozmawiamy może się w rzeczywistości stać/zdarzyć.

Na przykład (Drugi Tryb Warunkowy):
If I had enough money, I would buy a house with twenty bedrooms and a swimming pool. (chyba nie będę miał tyle pieniędzy, to tylko sen, niezbyt realny)

Ale (Pierwszy Tryb Warunkowy):
If I have enough money, I'll buy some new shoes. (o wiele bardziej prawdopodobne, że wystarczy mi na zakup butów)

Hello everyone!

Today we will continue our adventure in the world of Conditionals and focus on the Second Conditional.

The second conditional uses the Past Simple after’ if’, then 'would' and the infinitive:

if + Past Simple + would + infinitive

(We can use 'were' instead of 'was' with 'I' and 'he/she/it'. This is mostly done in formal writing).

It has two uses.
First, we can use it to talk about things in the future that are probably not going to be true. Maybe I'm imagining some dream for example.

If I won the lottery, I would buy a big house. (I probably won't win the lottery)
If I met the Queen of England, I would say hello.
She would travel all over the world if she were rich.
She would pass the exam if she ever studied. (She never studies, so this won't happen)

Second, we can use it to talk about something in the present which is impossible, because it's not true. Is that clear? Have a look at the examples:

If I had his number, I would call him. (I don't have his number now, so it's impossible for me to call him).
If I were you, I wouldn't go out with that man.

How is this different from the first conditional?
This kind of conditional sentence is different from the first conditional because this is a lot more unlikely.

For example (Second Conditional):
If I had enough money, I would buy a house with twenty bedrooms and a swimming pool. (I'm probably not going to have this much money, it's just a dream, not very real)

But (First Conditional):
If I have enough money, I'll buy some new shoes. (It's much more likely that I'll have enough money to buy some shoes)
