Unit 25                                               Grammar

• Unreal past, wishes / contrast

 

 ( Unreal past )

• Past tenses do not always refer to past time. In some sentences and with some verbs or phrases we use a past tense to refer to the present or the future or to a general situation.bThese include sentences that contain:

Structure Example
a second conditional I'd buy that top if I had more cash on me.
suppose / what if/ imagine I know it's probably not going to happen but suppose/imagine I became a famous supermodel! I know it's probably not going to happen but what ifl became a famous super model?
would rather+you/he/she/we/ they I'd rather you didn't come with me to the fashion show tomorrow.
it's (high/about) time It's (high/about) time that hats came back in fashion.
polite questions Did you want me to send you our new catalogue when it comes out?
wish / if only If only/I wish I had something to wear tonight.

WATCH OUT

Suppose, what if and imagine can also be followed by a present tense.

A present tense indicates that the situation is more likely to actually happen.

A past tense indicates that the situation is less likely to actually happen.

What ifyou are accepted into art college? (more likely to happen)

What ifyou were accepted into art college? (less likely to happen)

 

 ( Wishes )

• We use different structures with wish / if only, depending on exactly what we want to express.

Use Structure Example
Expressing wishes about the present, future or generally wish/if only + past simple/ continuous I wish I was studying history of fashion instead of biology!
Expressing wishes about the past wish/if only + past perfect simple/continuous If only I'd known Burton's was having a sale last week.
Criticising other people or complaining about a situation now, in the future or generally wish /if only + would If only Henry would get a haircut!
Expressing hypothetical ability or permission now, in the future or generally wish/if only + could I wish I could fit into these jeans.
Expressing desires in a formal way wish + full infinitive I wish to try on this ball gown.

WATCH OUT

• We do not usually say If only/I wish I would...

✓ If only /I wish I had enough money to buy these shoes.

✓ If only/I wish I could afford these shoes.

X If only/I wish I would have enough money to buy these shoes.

• To express desires about the future, we often use hope.

I hope I will have enough money to buy these shoes next week.

I hope to have enough money to buy these shoes next week.

X I wish I will have enough money to buy these shoes next week.

 

 ( although / though / even though )

• Although, though and even though are used to express contrast. Even though is more emphatic than although and though. Though is more informal than although and even though.

Structure Example
Although/Though/Even though + subject + verb, subject + verb Although / Though / Even though I wore a hat, I got sunburn.
subject + verb, although/though/even though + subject + verb I got sunburn, although/though/even though I wore a hat.

WATCH OUT

Though can also come at the end of a sentence.

I wore a hat. I got sunburn, though

 

 ( in spite of/ despite )

In spite of and despite are used to express contrast. They mean exactly the same thing and take the same grammatical structures:

Structure Example
in spite of/ despite + -ing form, subject + verb In spite of /Despite wearing a hat, I got sunburn.
in spite of/ despite + the fact (that) + subject + verb, subject + verb In spite of/ Despite the fact (that) I wore a hat, I got sunburn.
in spite of/ despite + noun, subject + verb In spite of/Despite my hat, I got sunburn.

WATCH OUT

• We can also put in spite of/despite in the middle of the sentence.

I got sunburn in spite of/despite wearing a hat.

• We can also use the perfect -ing form to show that the action happened before the result.

I got sunburn in spite of/ despite having worn a hat.

• With in spite of/despite + -ing form, the subject of the main verb must also carry out the action of the -ing verb.

X My sunburn was terrible in spite of/despite wearing a hat. (= My sunburn wore a hat)

 

 ( however / nevertheless )

However and nevertheless are used to express contrast. However is formal. Nevertheless is even more formal.
The fashion show was expensive to put on. However / Nevertheless, it did make a profit.
The fashion show was expensive to put on. It did make a profit, however/nevertheless.
The fashion show was expensive to put on. It did, however/nevertheless, make a profit.

 

( while / whereas )

While and whereas are used to contrast two different facts or ideas.

Structure Example
while / whereas + subject + verb, subject + verb While/Whereas jeans are worn by both men and women, blouses are worn only by women.
subject + verb, while / whereas + subject + verb Blouses are worn only by women, while / whereas jeans are worn by both men and women.

 

 

A   Complete using the correct form of the verb in brackets.

1. Don't you think it's time you   told  ( tell ) Andrea the truth?
