    The document discusses three grammar topics: 1) The unreal conditional, which describes results of unreal conditions using "if" clauses with past tense verbs and "would" in the result clause. 2) Possessive pronouns like "mine", "hers", and "theirs" which clarify ownership, answering questions with "whose" and identifying possessions after "which". 3) The use of "should" and "ought to" to give advice or state opinions about ethical choices, and "had better" to give advice with an implication of consequence for not following it.

    The unreal conditional

    Unreal conditional sentences describe the results unreal conditions ---- conditions that don´t exist.

    Formation
    In the if clause, use the simple past tense. For the verb be, always use were.
    In the result clause, use would + a base form.

    Structure: If + S + verb(simple past) + C + , S + would + verb(base form) + C.

    EXAMPLE: If I were the president, I would be famous.


    Unreal action result (If it were true)

    NOTE: In real and unreal conditional sentences, the clauses can occur in either order. Use a comma if the if
    clause comes first.
    GRAMMAR Possessive pronouns / Whose

    Subject pronouns Possessive adjectives Possessive pronouns

    I my mine
    you your yours
    he his his
    she her hers
    we our ours
    they their theirs

    They answer questions with Whose and clarify answers to questions with Which.

    Examples:

    Whose toothbrush is this? -It´s mine.

    Which is her purse? - This one is hers

    Be careful!

     Don´t use a possessive adjective in place of a possessive pronoun.


    Is this yours? NOT Is this your?
     Don´t use a noun after a possessive pronoun.
    These shoes are mine. NOT These are mine shoes.
    Should and Ought to; had better .

    Use should or ought to + a base form to state an opinion or give advice, especially
    abouth an ethical choice. Ought to has the same meaning as should, but should is
    slightly less formal.
    Example:
    You should ( or ought to) return the money. You shouldn’t keep it.

    Use had better + a base form to state an opinion or give advice. The meaning is
    similar to should and ought to, but had better express the idea that there is a
    consequence for not doing something.
    Example:
    You’d better not eat at fairway café. I got sick there the last time I did
