Wrong decisions

Presentación del tema

Hello! Welcome back to our English VI class.

I hope you’re all doing well. Today, we have an exciting lesson ahead of us where we’ll be diving into some important topics. We will be focusing on two crucial aspects: the third conditional and expressions related to wishes and regrets.

For the third conditional, we’ll be exploring sentences structured with «If + subject/object + past perfect, … subject/object + (would/ wouldn’t/ could/ couldn’t/ should/ shouldn’t/ must/ might) + have + past participle.» This structure is essential for discussing hypothetical situations in the past.

In our second segment, we’ll delve into expressing desires and regrets. This involves using phrases like «Wish + past perfect,» «If only + past perfect,» and «Wish + would.» These expressions allow us to convey our hopes, dreams, and even things we wish we could change about the past. To make things even more engaging, we’ll be tying in vocabulary related to education and cover words associated with academic work.

So, get ready to expand your English language skills and deepen your understanding of these important topics. Let’s embark on this learning journey together! Are you all set?

Fantastic! Let’s begin!
