Answer 2

1. Ann wants to go to the movies, but she doesn't have any money.

Conditional Sentence: If Ann had money, she would go to the movies.

Explanation: In this situation, Ann wants to go to the movies but she doesn't have any money. The conditional sentence implies that if Ann had money, she would go to the movies. The use of "if" indicates a hypothetical condition (having money) and the use of the past tense verb "had" indicates a contrary-to-fact situation (not having money).

2. It's possible for you to do this quiz because you have a computer.

Conditional Sentence: If you have a computer, it's possible for you to do this quiz.

Explanation: In this situation, the person has a computer, which makes it possible for them to do the quiz. The conditional sentence emphasizes the condition (having a computer) and states the result (possibility of doing the quiz) that arises from that condition.

3. I'll try to give your message to Ted, but I'm not sure whether I'll see him or not.

Conditional Sentence: If I see Ted, I'll try to give him your message.

Explanation: In this situation, the speaker intends to give a message to Ted but is uncertain whether they will be able to see him or not. The conditional sentence expresses the condition (seeing Ted) and the result (trying to give him the message) that depends on that condition.

4. I want to work outside today, but that won't be possible because it's raining.

Conditional Sentence: If it wasn't raining, I would work outside today.

Explanation: In this situation, the speaker wants to work outside but can't because it's raining. The conditional sentence presents a hypothetical condition (not raining) and the result (working outside) that would occur if that condition were true.

5. She must apologize to me, or I won't forgive her.

Conditional Sentence: If she doesn't apologize to me, I won't forgive her.

Explanation: In this situation, the speaker requires an apology from the other person in order to forgive them. The conditional sentence states the condition (not apologizing) and the result (not being forgiven) that arises from that condition.
