In sentences and clauses of implied condition




THE USE OF THE CONDITIONSL MOOD

THE CONDITIONAL MOOD

 

The Conditional Mood denotes an unreal action the unreality of which is due to the absence of necessary conditions. The Conditional Mood is formed with the help of the auxiliary verb should (would). The Conditional Mood has two forms:

 

 

Non-perfect Perfect
I would come He (she, it) would come We would come You would come They would come I would have come He (she, it) would have come We would have come You would have come They would have come

 

 

The Non-perfect form of the Conditional Mood is used to refer the action to the present or the future. It expresses simultaneousness.

E.g. I’m sure he would never fail you, he’s quite reliable.

The Perfect form expresses priority, so it is used to refer the action to the past.

E.g. She would have known what to do in such a situation.

I’m sure something detained her.
would (should) have   introduced you to my parents, but they were away. enjoyed their excursion, but the weather was nasty. told you about his plans, he just wasn’t sure about them. warned you, but it was too late. cleaned the flat, but she was really pressed for time. liked that place, it is very picturesque there.
