    Hello teacher! I'm María (3°B). I've done the exercises to review for the exam. I just have not done the conditional exercises because I understand them very well. In the modal verbs it is a little confusing, I have only had more problem in the gerunds and participles because I have to review the verbs that go with each one.
    Thanks !!

    Hola seño soy Paola si tienes dos comentarios mios iguales es porque a mi me sale como que no se ha enviado, por eso te hago las mismas preguntas, en el ejercicio 4 el numero es lily would has enjoyed... o lily would have enjoyed porque no se si el verbo have varia y en muchos sitios he visto que en el segundo condicional ponen were para todas las personas por ejemplo If I were tall... cuando seria I was por eso no se si esta bien. Gracias.

      Hello Paola! Lily would have enjoyed is the only correct answer because would is always followed by an infinitive form of the verb. On the other hand, were is usually used instead of was in second conditional. Thanks for your comment.
