  2. 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 !!

    1. 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.
