Global (The Third Conditional)

GLOBAL

The Third Conditional

Hacemos el tercer condicional usando el pasado perfecto después de 'si' y luego 'tendría' y el participio pasado en la segunda parte de la oración:

if + past perfect, ...would + have + past participle

Habla sobre el pasado. Se usa para describir una situación que no ocurrió e imaginar el resultado de esta situación.

·         If she had studied, she would have passed the exam (but, really we know she didn't study and so she didn't pass)

·         If I hadn't eaten so much, I wouldn't have feltsick (but I did eat a lot, and so I did feel sick).

·         If we had taken a taxi, we wouldn't have missed the plane

·         She wouldn't have been tired if she had goneto bed earlier

·         She would have become a teacher if she had gone to university

·         He would have been on time for the interview if he had left the house at nine

“Hope” y “Wish”

Hope se usa cuando el deseo es posible en el presente o el futuro.

Wish + verbo en pasado es cuando el deseo es improbable, imaginado o imposible en el presente.

Wish + past perfect se usa para algo no deseado que ocurrió en el pasado.

 Después de hope y wish se puede usar that sin que varíe el significado de la frase aunque es de uso un poco más formal.

 I hope (that) it’s true. – Ojala sea verdad.

I wish (that) it were true. – Ojala fuera verdad.

I wish (that) it had been true. – Ojala hubiera sido verdad.

Hope Vs. Wish

Hope and wish have very similar meanings. We use them to express our desire for something different from how it is now. In a nutshell, hope mainly expresses a desire that is possible or likely to happen. Wish usually expresses a desire that is impossible or unlikely to happen. To express a future desire, hope usually takes a simple present verb, and wish mostly follows the pattern of the second conditional (i.e., using would and other past patterns). In the past, wish follows the pattern of the third conditional (i.e., using had + p.p.).

"HOPE"  (como verbo) = ESPERO 

Se usa cuando hay una posibilidad de que algo ocurra, y muestra nuestras intenciones cara al futuro.

Ejemplos

The interview went quite well, so I hope I get the job  = La entrevista fue bastante bien, así que espero que consiga el trabajo

I hope it´s a nice day on Sunday to go for a bike ride  = Espero que haga un día bueno para hacer un paseo en bic

"WISH"  = "OJALA": Se usa "WISH" cuando quieres que algo ocurra, aunque sabes que puede ser algo  improbable" y en situaciones imaginadas y no reales.

"WISH" también expresa cierta lamentación por tu actual situación

Se suele usar "WISH"+ verbo en pasado

Ejemplos

I wish I were rich and travel around the world  = Ojala fuera rico y viajar por el mundo

I wish I could travel all over the world for one year  = Ojala pudiera viajar por todo el mundo durante un año.
