Conditional sentences: Mixed and Implied
Tumblr media
Mixed and Implied Conditionals
  Mixed Conditionals:
Mixed conditionals are a combination of elements from both the second and third conditionals. These types of conditional sentences involve a present or future unreal condition and a past unreal result, or vice versa. Mixed conditionals are useful for expressing complex relationships between past, present, and future situations.   Here are examples and explanations for two common types of mixed conditionals:   Present unreal condition with past unreal result:  If I knew (past indefinite) you were coming, I would have baked (would + present perfect) a cake.   Past Unreal Condition with Present Unreal Result: If she had studied harder (past perfect), she would have a better job now (would + base form).     Time Shift: In mixed conditionals, there is a temporal shift between the condition and the result. The condition may be related to the present or future, while the result is related to the past.      
Implied Conditionals:
In an implied conditional scenario, where the result is understood without being explicitly stated, the conditional clause is often implied rather than explicitly mentioned.   I didn't know you were in town. I should have picked you up from the airport.   Implied Conditional: If I had known you were in town, I would have picked you up from the airport.     He never invited me to the party. I would have attended.   Implied Conditional: If he had invited me to the party, I would have attended.     Why didn't you inform me earlier?  I would have rearranged my schedule.   Implied Conditional: If you had informed me earlier, I would have rearranged my schedule.   In these examples, the speaker expresses a regret or a missed opportunity, and the implied conditional clause provides the context for the unfulfilled condition.               Conditional sentences: Mixed and Implied Would and Should in Conditional sentences IF (Conditional) Sentences Subordinate Clauses Exclamatory Sentences Imperative Sentences Preposition – “Towards” Read the full article

Tumblr media
"There's another fighter."
As soon as she hear the words, her heart stops. The hope of them coming back, jolted to a halt. Hangman's recovery requests muffle in her ears, along with a weary denial. They're not coming home. So close, and yet her boys won't come home. Her hands shake as she turns down the comms earpiece in her ears. Sitting there, frozen. Lifeless.
Warm hands shake her from behind. Enveloping her in a stifling hug. Murmured words but she can't- she can't breath. She can't move, she can't do anything-
She's screaming, now.
They're not coming back, they're not coming back!
Pulled into a hug. She knows that voice, can't focus enough to place it. But it sends a scrap of calm in her scrambled mind. A steady heartbeat, a warm chest as she's engulfed. Her wild thrashing, her guttural cries as the tears stream down her face. The arms stay steady, and as her screams gradually turn to hoarse sobs, she hears the murmured voice, the whispered reassurances. As the salty tears soak their clothes, as they hiccup and shake. The fear tamed by the solid warmth, not giving out under the ocean of feelings.
As the world loses its haze, she sees who it is. The only one who it could possibly be. Nat. Phoenix. Her comforting scent weaving around her broken body. She squeezes hard, returning the hug, and they stay like that for a minute. Taking comfort. She remembers that she's not the only one to have someone up there. Rooster- her brother in all but blood- was Nat's wingman. Friend from years of working together.
Then the call comes in.
"Your savior is speaking. Please fasten your seat belts and follow me home."
And Rooster's crackling voice, the exhaustion evident,
"Hey, Hangman. You look good."
