Inversion Dictation: Inverted Conditionals
C1 Level
English Exercises is teacher-led by Charlie. About the teacher · How content is made
Recognise the opening auxiliary as the start of a condition, then find its subject. Had introduces an unreal past condition; were can introduce a hypothetical state or a to-infinitive pattern; should presents a possible event. None needs an added if in this spoken structure. The result can express an instruction or a consequence, so its verb group deserves a separate listen. Keep negative words and time phrases as well. Their detail matters more than labelling the whole sentence as one conditional type.
