Few funny things I've run across

 

Very funny thread=) Althought I'll rename it in "English jokes" or somethings like this

 

I always wondered what the purposes of this topic on the forum are... Ok, if it's supposed to teach some newbies the rules of the English language, why don't we put several most usable rules here? Like this:

Tutorial about Conditional forms:

There are three main forms of conditional sentences in the English language. The first one is Future Conditional:

Subordinate clause: If + indefinite form of the verb, Main clause: will + indefinite form of the verb.

E.g. If I go to school, I will study English. (The pupil doesn't know if he will go or not)

The second one is Present Conditional:

Subordinate clause: If + Past Indefinite (second form of the verb), Main clause: would + indefinite form of the verb.

E.g. If I won the lottery, I would buy a car. (Vague situation that still can come true)

The third one is Past Conditional:

Subordinate clause: If + had + third form of the verb, Main clause: would + perfect infinitive.

E.g. If I had had time, I would have visited you (I didn't have time, the situation can't change).

 

Me too!

 

1) It's "although", not "althought".
2) In English, you say "rename to", not "rename in".
3) "Something", not "somethings".
4) You are not a thread moderator so you can't rename the thread. So you should write "I'd" instead of "I'll".
