O que são Orações Condicionais no Inglês?

1 – The Narrator found the purse

C) Just Before the couple left

De todas as alternativas, a que faz mais sentido é a C, já que no texto é mencionado que o casal retorna “momentos depois” dele ter devolvido a bolsa.

2 – The father thought the children were singing because

A) He had returned the purse

A alternativa correta é que o pai pensava que os filhos cantavam para ele porque ele tinha feito a boa ação de devolver a bolsa

3 – For the children, he in the sentence “For he’s a jolly good fellow” refers to

B) The Gentleman

As crianças cantaram a canção não para seu pai, nem para o gerente ou o garçom e sim para o cavalheiro, que deu a eles dez dólares.

4 – (U. Mackenzie – SP) If They _______ later, they ______ every hotel full.

C) Had Arrived / Would Have Found

Com frases iniciadas com “If”, normalmente o tempo verbal utilizado é o “Perfect Continuous Conditional”, com duas orações distintas – a primeira com uma ação que não aconteceu ou inacabada, e a segunda contando o que possivelmente teria acontecido caso a primeira premissa se concretizasse. Nesse caso, o verbo na primeira sentença deve ser o “past perfect” (verbo ter no passado mais o particípio passado do verbo) e o verbo na segunda sentença deve ser o “perfect continuous conditional”, com o “would” + “have” + “been” indicando possibilidade e o verbo seguinte no particípio passado.

A letra que segue essa estrutura é a letra C.

5 – (ITA) If I _________ in your place, I __________ that again and again.

B) Had Been / Would not have done

A explicação é exatamente a mesma da questão 4, elas seguem a mesma estrutura, apenas com o “not” na segunda oração, visto que a oração está na negativa.
