Answer 1

1)1.We wanted to go out yesterday but the weather was appalling. If it had been a sunny day, we would have gone for a picnic.
2. Mary was here not long ago. If you had come round earlier, you would have seen her.
3. Apparently, the government is planning to close the port in this town. If that happens, the town will lose a great deal of money.
4. I would help you with your maths` homework if I had more time but I’m afraid I haven’t got any spare time at all at the moment.
5. The government is expecting to win the next election, but if it loses, the Prime Minister will resign from politics.
6. I am so glad that you took me to your friend’s birthday party. If we hadn`t gone there, I would never have met Steven.
7. It’s ridiculous that trains are so expensive. If fares were cheaper, I’m sure more people would use the train and would leave their cars at home.
8. If she gets that job she’s applied for, she will be delighted. I assume she’s got a good chance of getting it.
9. Fortunately, the explosion took place at night when the streets were deserted. It would have been a disaster if it had happened in the middle of the day.
10. If I were you, I would have studied harder during the academic year. Now it is too late!
11. They’ve been married for twenty-five years now. However, I don’t think she would have married him if she had known what a mean man he was.
12. He will have to retake the exam next year if he doesn`t pass it tomorrow.

2) 1. If she had asked me the way, she would have found this house yesterday.
2. If he knew English well, he could be offered a good job.
4. Ann will come to Sarah if she calls her in the evening.
5. He can’t drive. If he could drive, they would go to the South by car.
