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.
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 present perfect tense in English.

Examples are provided to illustrate usage with time expressions like "already", "for", and "since".
