(2) Joe says: If I found a wallet in the street, I'd take it to the police station. This is a differenr type of situation. Here, Joe doesn t expect to find a wallet in the rreec: he is imagining a icuarion that will probably not happen. So he says: if 1 found ... , I'd (= l would) ... . (not if l find ... , 1'11 ... ) When you imagine something like this, you use if+ past (if I found/ if there was/ if we didn't etc.). But the meaning is not past: D What would you do if you won a million pounds? (we don't realJy expect this to happen) □ I don't really want to go co their parry, but I probably will go.

(not if somebody would point) □ If I didn't go to their party, they'd be upset. (not If I wouldn't go) But you can use if ... would when you ask somebody to do something: □ (from a formal letter) l wouJd be grateful if you would let me know your decision as soon as possible. In the other part of the sentence (not the if-part) we use would ('d)/wouldn't: □ If you cook more exercise, you'd (= you would) feel bener. □ I'm not tired. If l went to bed now, l wouldn't sleep. D Would you mind if I used your phone? Could and might are also possible: o If you cook more exercise, you might feel better.

Rachel didn't know this, so she didn'r go ro visit him. They met a few days ago. Rachel said: If I had known you were in hospital, l would have gone to see you. Rachel said: If I had known you were in hospital ... . This tells us that she didn't know he was in hospital. We use if + had ('d) ... ~o talk about the past (if I had known/been/done etc.): D I didn't see you when you passed me in the street. If I'd seen you, of course I would have said hello. (but I d idn't see you) D I decided to stay at home last night. ·I .would have gone out if I hadn't been so t ired. (but I was tired) D If he had been looking where he was going, he wouldn't have walked into the wall. (but he wasn't looking) D The view was wonderfuJ. If I'd had a camera with me, I would have taken some photographs. (but I didn't have a camera) Compare: D I'm not hungry. If I was hungry, I would eat something. (now) D I wasn't hungry. If I had been hungry, I would have eaten something. (past) Do not use would in the if-part of the sentence. We use would in the other part of the sentence: If I had seen you, I would have said hello. (not If I would have seen you) Note that'd can be would or had: If I'd seen you, (I'd seen = I had seen) I'd have said hello. (I'd have said = I would have said) We use had (done) in the same way after w1sh. I wish something had happened = I am sorry that it didn't happen: I wish I'd known that Gary was ill. I would have gone to see him. (but I didn 't know) D I feel sick. I wish I hadn't eaten so much cake. (I ate too much cake) D Do you wish you had studied science instead of languages? (you didn't study science) Do not use would have . .. after wish: D The weather was cold while we were away. I wish it had been warmer. (not I wish it would have been) Compare would (do) and would have (done): If I had gone to the party last night, I would be tired now. (I am not tired now - present) D If I had gone to the party last night, 1 would have met lots of people. (l didn't meet lots of people - past) Compare would have, could have and might have: we would have gone out. we could have gone out. If the weather hadn't been so bad, (= we would have been able to go out) we might have gone out.
