My dear diary: I had a Disaster dream!

Disaster dream!

One day I had a dream, that dream was a great disaster.

That day was specially for the cleaning house. The first thing that I did was wash my clothes in the washing machine. I put all the clothes inside the washing machine, then I decided to make my lunch while my clothes were clean.

When my lunch was ready, I decided to take a little break while the clothes were clean. I was sleeping deeply when I heard a great burst in my kitchen, I stood up so fast and entered to the kitchen. The kitchen was a disaster, I forgot turn off the stove and this burst with my lunch.

Then to clean the kitchen, I remembered to my clothes.
 My clothes were in the floor, I forgot to close the washing machine when I put to dry the clothes.
All were faded and shrink.

I woke up and saw that all the disaster was a bad dream.

My regret!

¡Bad grade!

This year I have to repeat a course, because I hadn't study a lot for a good grade. For my bad action I have to delay my graduation one year. I feel so bad for this, I wish I had studied enough to pass the course and to graduate.

Right now I'm studying a lot, for the next year not have to say: I wish I had studied more.!

Real Conditionals, Unreal Conditionals, and Whishes.

Real and Unreal Conditionals.
Conditional sentences have a dependent If clause and main clause. 


Real Conditionals
  • In real conditionals, the verb in the If clause is in the present, even if it has future meaning. 
If you come tomorrow, call me please.

  • Real conditionals can also be formed with the present continuos in the If clause. 
If I were leaving now, I might walk to work.

Unreal Conditionals
  • When an unreal conditionals If clause contains the verb be, use were for all subjects.
If I were on time, I'd walk to work.

  • Unreal conditionals can also be formed with the past continuos in the If clause. 
If I were leaving now, I might walk to work. 



The Present Real Conditional is used to talk about what you normally do in real-life situations.

FORM

[If / When ... Simple Present ..., ... Simple Present ...]
[... Simple Present ... if / when ... Simple Present ...]

Gerunds and Infinitives

Gerunds and Infinitives



  • A gerund is a noun made from a verb by adding "-ing." The gerund form of the verb "read" is "reading." You can use a gerund as the subject, the complement, or the object of a sentence.

  • Infinitives are the "to" form of the verb. The infinitive form of "learn" is "to learn." You can also use an infinitive as the subject, the complement, or the object of a sentence.

NOTE:
Some verbs are used with both infinitives and gerunds.

In my opinion this topic is important because infinitives and gerunds are used when we talk about actions,
