CONDITIONAL - IF CLAUSES

Conditional sentences. “If” clause: verb in past tense, main clause: verb in present tense

Conditional sentences that contain an “if” clause in the past and end with the main clause in the present are generally expressing imaginative or hypothetical conditions. In these conditional sentences, the past perfect is used to refer to a past event. As a refresher, the past perfect expresses the idea that something occurred before in another action. These sentences can also show the reader that something happened before a specific time in the past. Therefore, the form of the unreal conditional sentence in this situation is as follows:

 If + past perfect, would + have + past participle

Consider the following sentence

If I had had time, I would have cleaned the house.

\

The speaker in this sentence is informing their audience that they did not have time to clean the house.

Countable & Uncountable Nouns

The difference between countable and uncountable nouns can help you in many areas of English grammar.

Countable Nouns

Countable nouns are nouns that can be counted. Most nouns in English are countable.

Examples:

• I have four cats.
• detri has three cars.
•  Nigia has ten dollars.

Uncountable Nouns

Uncountable nouns are not counted in English. This usually has to do with the way English speakers think of these nouns. We often picture these nouns as a single concept or one big thing which is hard to divide. Many of these words are countable in other languages, but they ARE NOT countable in English. Generally, we do not use plural forms of these words; however some of these words do end in "s", so don't get confused.

Examples:

• Mack drinks a lot of water.
• andi gives great advice.
• steve enjoys politics. Ends with "s" but uncountable

Uncountable nouns tend to belong to one of the following categories:

Liquids and Gases

• water
• coffee
• milk
• air
• oxygen

Solid and Granular Substances

• wood
• metal
• cheese
• sand
• rice

Energy Words and Forces

• electricity
• sunshine
• radiation
• heat
• magnetism

Subjects

• French
• chemistry
• economics
• science
• math

Grouped Concepts

• fruit
• money
• food
• vocabulary
• news

Information and Abstract Concepts

• information
• advice
• education
• democracy
• intelligence

Uncountable Plurals

Sometimes in English, we do use uncountable nouns in plural forms. This is most commonly done with liquids and substances. It usually takes on the meaning of "cups of", "bottles of" or "types of".

Examples:

• We'll have two coffees. Cups of coffee
• I bought three waters. Bottles of water
• The company produces two leathers. Types of leather

Different Meanings

There are certain words which have multiple meanings. It is possible for one meaning to be countable and the other to be uncountable. Take for example the word "light":

Examples:

• I couldn't see anything because there was no light. Uncountable noun
• The Christmas tree was covered with hundreds of lights. Countable noun

Generally, the rules are still the same. The first use of "light" is a form of energy. The second use of "light" means "small light bulbs", which are normal countable objects.

my experience

 last holiday, me and my friends went to the city of lampung. I go there 2 car ride. before departing we gathered in the mcd. After that we went to the port of merak , until in merak, we also rushed to buy tickets. our boat ride is quite large and Nice, in boats there  tv and bed etc, until in  Bakauheni , we went on a trip to the beach Kiluan, we also got lost along the way to reach the beach Kiluan.  7 hours to get on the beach kiluan :(. Maybe that experience was never forgotten hahaha . After arriving at the beach kiluan we play and see the sunset. the next day we went to Central lampung, after arriving in Central lampung, I think that like the city of cirebon, judging from its course, and maybe that's just my perception. Once satisfied around, we are looking for a hotel for a break, because tomorrow we have to go home.
