Answer 1

C. If it rain tomorrow, I Would stay home.

Answer 2

Olá, tudo bem?


A sentença correta é a letra b. If I were you, I wouldn't do that!

Vejamos as opções:

a. If Philip wanted, he will become very successful.
Nesta sentença, o verbo 'wanted' está no passado simples (condicional tipo 2). O verbo da sentença principal deveria estar no presente condicional (would + verb in simple present). Portanto, a forma correta seria: "If Philip wanted, he would become very successful".

b. Correto. Condional tipo 2 com a forma especial do verbo to be para a primeira pessoa do singular.

c. If it rains tomorrow, I would stay home.
Nesta sentença há dois problemas: o tempo verbal da segunda oração deveria ser o simple future (will + verb in simple present) e falta a conjunção 'at' diante de 'home'. A forma correta seria "If it rains tomorrow, I will stay at home".

d. Paul would have stay, if Mary invited him.
Nesta sentença há também dois problemas: na primeira oração, o verbo "stay" deveria ser "stayed" (perfect conditional); na segunda oração, o verbo deveria estar no past perfect. Esta sentença é condicional do tipo 3 e deveria ser: "Paul would have stayed, if Mary had invited him."

e. If Melissa studied for the test, she'd have been approved.
Novamente, condicional tipo 3. O problema nesta sentença está no primeiro verbo, que deveria estar no past perfect, "had studied". A forma correta seria: "If Melissa had studied for the test, she would have been approved."
