= 🌙 Exercise 2. Second &amp;amp; Third Conditionals =&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== 📘 Theory ==&lt;br /&gt;
{| class=&amp;quot;wikitable&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
!&lt;br /&gt;
!🌙 '''Second Conditional'''&lt;br /&gt;
!🕯️ '''Third Conditional'''&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|'''Meaning'''&lt;br /&gt;
|unreal / imaginary situation '''now or in the future'''&lt;br /&gt;
|imaginary alternative to something that '''already happened'''&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|'''If-clause'''&lt;br /&gt;
|'''if + Past Simple'''&lt;br /&gt;
|'''if + had + V3'''&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|'''Result clause'''&lt;br /&gt;
|'''would + V1'''&lt;br /&gt;
|'''would have + V3'''&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|'''Negative'''&lt;br /&gt;
|if + '''didn’t + V1''' → '''wouldn’t + V1'''&lt;br /&gt;
|if + '''hadn’t + V3''' → '''wouldn’t have + V3'''&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|'''Example'''&lt;br /&gt;
|If I '''had''' more time, I '''would cook''' more often.&lt;br /&gt;
|If I '''had left''' earlier, I '''would have caught''' the train.&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 🔑 The easiest way to remember ===&lt;br /&gt;
'''Second Conditional → the reality is different NOW.'''&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;I don’t have enough time. → If I '''had''' more time...&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;'''Third Conditional → the reality was different IN THE PAST.'''&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;I didn’t leave early. → If I '''had left''' earlier...&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;💡 '''were''' is especially common in hypothetical sentences:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''If I were you... / If he were less tired...'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
💡 '''could / might''' can sometimes replace '''would''' when the meaning requires it:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''If I had more free time, I could take an art course.'''&lt;br /&gt;
----&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== 🧩 Task ==&lt;br /&gt;
Combine the two ideas into '''one conditional sentence'''. Use the type shown in brackets. Change the verb forms and add negatives where necessary.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# 🎨 '''[Second Conditional]''' I don’t know how to draw well. I don’t make portraits of my friends.&lt;br /&gt;
# 🚉 '''[Third Conditional]''' She didn’t check the departure time. She missed the train.&lt;br /&gt;
# 🏙️ '''[Second Conditional]''' I don’t live closer to the city centre. I don’t go for evening walks there very often.&lt;br /&gt;
# 📱 '''[Third Conditional]''' He scrolled through social media until two in the morning. He felt completely drained the next day.&lt;br /&gt;
# 🌿 '''[Second Conditional]''' She has too many responsibilities. She finds it difficult to unwind properly.&lt;br /&gt;
# ☕ '''[Third Conditional]''' We didn’t know the café was closed. We went there for nothing.&lt;br /&gt;
# 🎤 '''[Second Conditional]''' He gets very nervous in front of an audience. He avoids giving presentations.&lt;br /&gt;
# 📅 '''[Third Conditional]''' They didn’t arrange the meeting in advance. Several people couldn’t come.&lt;br /&gt;
# 🧠 '''[Second Conditional]''' I get distracted very easily. I can’t stay focused for long.&lt;br /&gt;
# 🎁 '''[Third Conditional]''' I didn’t know she preferred handmade presents. I bought her something completely different.&lt;br /&gt;
# 🌃 '''[Second Conditional]''' My friends don’t invite me somewhere spontaneous tonight. I stay at home and work.&lt;br /&gt;
# 🧊 '''[Third Conditional]''' He lost his composure during the discussion. His answer sounded much harsher than he intended.&lt;br /&gt;
# 🎸 '''[Second Conditional]''' I can’t play the guitar properly. I don’t join my friends when they play music together.&lt;br /&gt;
# 🖼️ '''[Third Conditional]''' She didn’t look at the painting attentively. She didn’t notice the hidden detail.&lt;br /&gt;
# 💻 '''[Second Conditional]''' I don’t have fewer deadlines this month. I can’t start a personal project.&lt;br /&gt;
# 💬 '''[Third Conditional]''' He didn’t open up about what was bothering him. His friends didn’t realise that he needed support.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

= ⏰ Exercise 3. Time Expressions =&lt;br /&gt;
І тут важная папраўка: '''on the time''' звычайна не патрэбна. Асноўная канструкцыя — '''on time'''.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

|early enough; before it is too late — '''паспець своечасова'''&lt;br /&gt;
|We got there '''in time''' to see the beginning.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|🕰️ '''at the time'''&lt;br /&gt;
|at that particular moment / during that period — '''у той час, у той момант'''&lt;br /&gt;
|I was studying for my exams '''at the time'''.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|🍽️ '''at a time'''&lt;br /&gt;
|a particular quantity on each occasion — '''за раз'''&lt;br /&gt;
|Take one tablet '''at a time'''.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|🔢 '''one at a time'''&lt;br /&gt;
|separately, one after another — '''па адным'''&lt;br /&gt;
|Please come in '''one at a time'''.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|🔄 '''at times'''&lt;br /&gt;
|sometimes — '''часам'''&lt;br /&gt;
|The course can be difficult '''at times'''.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|⌛ '''by the time'''&lt;br /&gt;
|no later than the moment when something happens — '''да таго часу, калі'''&lt;br /&gt;
|'''By the time''' we arrived, the café had closed.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|♾️ '''all the time'''&lt;br /&gt;
|constantly / very frequently — '''увесь час'''&lt;br /&gt;
|He checks his phone '''all the time'''.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|🌤️ '''from time to time'''&lt;br /&gt;
|occasionally — '''час ад часу'''&lt;br /&gt;
|I eat out '''from time to time'''.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|🪑 '''for the time being'''&lt;br /&gt;
|temporarily; for now — '''пакуль што'''&lt;br /&gt;
|I’m working from home '''for the time being'''.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|🤝 '''at the same time'''&lt;br /&gt;
|simultaneously / nevertheless — '''адначасова; разам з тым'''&lt;br /&gt;
|The dish is simple and healthy '''at the same time'''.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|🕰️ '''at one time'''&lt;br /&gt;
|once; during a particular period in the past — '''калісьці, у пэўны час'''&lt;br /&gt;
|'''At one time''', I wanted to study medicine.&lt;br /&gt;

= 🔁 Exercise 4. Habit Constructions =&lt;br /&gt;
Гэта добра працягвае тое, што было на мінулым занятку: вучань ужо выбіраў паміж '''used to, would, be used to, get used to''', таму цяпер замест тэсту даём '''актыўны пераклад'''. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== 📘 Theory: Used to, Would, Be Used to &amp;amp; Get Used to ==&lt;br /&gt;
{| class=&amp;quot;wikitable&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
!'''Construction'''&lt;br /&gt;
!'''When do we use it?'''&lt;br /&gt;
!'''Example'''&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|🕰️ '''used to + V1'''&lt;br /&gt;
|a past '''habit or state''' that is no longer true&lt;br /&gt;
|I '''used to be''' very shy.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|🔁 '''would + V1'''&lt;br /&gt;
|a '''repeated past action'''; not normally a past state&lt;br /&gt;
|Every summer, we '''would walk''' by the river.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|😌 '''be used to + noun / -ing'''&lt;br /&gt;
|something is already normal / familiar to you&lt;br /&gt;
|I’m '''used to working''' late.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|🌱 '''get used to + noun / -ing'''&lt;br /&gt;
|the process of gradually becoming accustomed to something&lt;br /&gt;
|I’m '''getting used to working''' late.&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 🔑 Key contrast ===&lt;br /&gt;
'''I used to work late.'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
→ I worked late in the past, but probably not now.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''I would work late.'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
→ I repeatedly worked late in a particular past period.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''I am used to working late.'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
→ Working late is normal for me now.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''I am getting used to working late.'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
→ It is becoming more normal for me.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== ⚠️ Remember ===&lt;br /&gt;
With past '''states''', prefer '''used to''', not '''would''':&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
✅ I '''used to be''' shy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
❌ I '''would be''' shy. ''(not for a simple past state)''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After '''did / didn’t''':&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Did you use to...?'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''I didn’t use to...'''&lt;br /&gt;

# 📚 Раней я рыхтаваўся да іспытаў у апошні момант, але цяпер стараюся пачынаць загадзя.&lt;br /&gt;
# ☕ Калі нашыя заняткі заканчваліся раней, мы часта заходзілі ў кавярню і яшчэ гадзіну размаўлялі.&lt;br /&gt;
# 💻 Я ўжо прывык працаваць над складанымі задачамі некалькі гадзінаў запар.&lt;br /&gt;
# 🌅 Я паступова прывыкаю ўставаць раней, але раніца ўсё яшчэ даецца мне цяжка.&lt;br /&gt;
# 😟 Раней я вельмі хваляваўся перад выступамі перад вялікай аўдыторыяй.&lt;br /&gt;
# 🎲 Пасьля кожнага турніру мы звычайна сустракаліся, елі што-небудзь і абмяркоўвалі свае памылкі.&lt;br /&gt;
# 🌶️ Я не прывык да такой вострай ежы, таму для мяне гэта крыху занадта.&lt;br /&gt;
# 📱 Раней я значна часьцей бяздумна гартаў сацыяльныя сеткі перад сном.&lt;br /&gt;
# 🏙️ Калі мы былі маладзейшыя, мы маглі гадзінамі шпацыраваць па горадзе без канкрэтнага пляну.&lt;br /&gt;
# 🧠 Спачатку мне было цяжка працаваць у шумным памяшканьні, але цяпер я да гэтага прывык.&lt;br /&gt;
# 👥 Я яшчэ толькі прывыкаю працаваць у вялікай камандзе і дзяліць адказнасьць зь іншымі людзьмі.&lt;br /&gt;
# 🧊 Раней мне было значна цяжэй захоўваць самавалоданьне ў няёмкіх сытуацыях.&lt;br /&gt;
# 🎨 Кожны раз, калі ў нас заставалася вольная гадзіна, мы заходзілі ў галерэю або невялікі музэй.&lt;br /&gt;
# 💬 Ты ўжо прывык размаўляць па-ангельску, не перакладаючы кожны сказ у галаве?&lt;br /&gt;
