English tense usage can't be divided into fact and non-fact

If + should can be used in type 1 to indicate that the action, though possible, is not very likely

If + would like/care can be used instead of if + want/wish and is less polite

If you will/would is often used in polite requests and would is the more polite form

If you would + infinitive is often used alone when the request is one which would normally be made in the circumstances:

In colloquial English or (+ else) can often replace otherwise

It's time can be followed by an infinitive

Suppose can also introduce suggestions

There are certain constructions (including conditional sentences) that have a hypothetical meaning, and the unreality that they express is shown by shifting the verb form "backwards":

There is a Past Subjunctive in English, but it is only visible with the form were to express non-fact

We do not always have to stick rigidly to the three types of conditional sentences. There are occasions when we can use any tenses in if-clauses, depending on the context

We form Type 3 conditionals with if + Past Perfect (or if + could have) + would have

Would rather + the Past Perfect is possible, but it is more usual to express the same idea using wish

Рrovided (that) can replace if when there is a strong idea of limitation or restriction. It is chiefly used with permission

A suggestion in type 2 is a little more polite than a suggestion in type 1, just as would you is a more polite request form than will you

Conditional sentences have two parts: the if-clause and the main clause:

In case is followed by a Present or Past Tense or by should

In Type 1 of Conditional sentences the verb in the if-clause is in the Past Tense; the verb in the main clause is in the Conditional Tense

In Type 1 of Conditional sentences the verb in the if-clause is in the Present Tense; the verb in the main clause is in the Future Simple. It doesn't matter which comes first:

Sometimes, rather confusingly, type 2 can be used as an alternative to type 1 for perfectly possible plans and suggestions

The Perfect Conditional Tense is formed with would/should and the Present Infinitive

The Present Conditional Tense is formed with would/should + infinitive for the first person and would + infinitive for the other persons

Type 2, like type 1, refers to the Present or, Future, and the Past Tense in the if-clause is not a true past but a subjunctive, which indicates unreality (as in the first example above) or improbability

We can use Type 2 conditionals in place of Type 1 to describe something that is reasonably possible

We can use were in place of was after if in all persons

We form Type 1 conditionals with if + Past (or if + could/might) + would

We often use Type 2 conditionals to describe what is totally impossible

We use If I were you and If I were in your position to give advice

We use If I were you and If I were in your position to give advicе

A direct subject-question has the same word order as a statement

A simple sentence is a complete unit of meaning which contains a subject and a verb, followed, if necessary, by other words which make up the meaning

Indirect speech commonly occurs in continuous paragraphs of reported language, not in unrelated sentences

Inversion can take place after negative adverbials such as never, nowhere, not for one minute, not since, not until, never again, rarely

Inversion takes place after expressions with only and no

Open the door really means: He opens the door

The meaning of an English sentence depends on the word order

Verbs like be and seem are "linking verbs":

We don't use quotation marks or question marks in indirect questions

We use quotation marks or question marks in indirect questions

When we write a sentence, we must begin with a capital letter and end with a full stop (.), a question mark (?), or an exclamation mark (!)
