Question
Which sentences refer to present or future situations and which ones refer to the past? What is different about sentence 2?
Answer
- Refer to present or future situations: 3 and 4 (second conditionals), 5 (first conditional)
- Refer to past situations: 1 and 6 (third conditionals)
Sentence 2 is a mixed conditional (a combination of a second and a third conditional). It refers to a hypothetical situation in the present (If my laptop wasn't so new...) and the consequence it had in the past (... I wouldn't have bothered to get it repaired).
