This document discusses the conditional sentence structure used in Part III of the TOEIC exam involving conditional exchanges rather than hypothetical situations. It provides examples of conditional sentences using "if + present simple..., subject + will/modal verb + base form" and "if + present simple..., subject + present simple/modal verb + base form". It then provides 9 sample questions explaining that the gap filling word should be in the present simple form within the condition clause to match the will/modal verb or present tense in the main clause.
The document discusses the conditional sentence type known as "contrary to fact" conditional sentences in TOEIC Part II questions. These sentences use "if + subject + had + past participle" in the if-clause and "would have + past participle" in the main clause to describe a hypothetical situation that is contrary to past facts. Some example questions are provided to illustrate how to identify this conditional sentence structure and select the appropriate verb forms in the if-clause and main clause.
The document discusses the present perfect tense in English. It explains that the present perfect is used to describe actions or situations that began in the past and continue to the present or that occurred multiple times during a period that extends to the present. Specifically, it is used for actions that happened during a period of time continuing to now, actions that began in the past and are still ongoing, and experiences someone has had over a period continuing to now. Examples are provided to illustrate usage with time expressions like "already", "for", and "since".
