“Mixed Conditional”

• It is possible for the two parts of a conditional sentence to refer to different times, and the resulting sentence is a “mixed conditional” sentence. There are two types of mixed conditional sentence.
• Mixed conditionals help you to move through time so a past action with a present result.
• These are some examples of Mixed Conditional Sentences:

1.If she wasn’t afraid of flying she wouldn’t have travelled by boat.

2.I’d have been able to translate the letter if my Italian was better.

3.If I was a good cook, I’d have invited them to lunch.

4.If I had worked harder at school, I would have a better job now.

5.I would have a better job now if I had worked harder at school.

6.if I had woken up earlier I wouldn’t have missed the bus

Types of Mixed Conditional Sentences

• Mixed conditionals are conditional sentences that use two different times in them.
• They help us to move between two times so the if clause and the main clause in a mixed conditional sentence have different times
• There are a few different ways that we can do this. You can mix and match several tenses and times together to make a mixed conditional sentence but I want to focus on the two most common combinations.

Past Condition / Present Result

1.If I hadn’t missed by bus, I would be in France now.
