EnglishFile4e Pre-Intermediate TG PCM Grammar 9A

If the boss came in now, he wouldn't be very happy. If Adam asked you out on a date, I think I would say 'yes'! You wouldn't have so many problems with your teeth if you went to the dentist more often. If I knew the answer, I would tell you. I would cycle to work if I lived nearer the office, but I live too far away. I would buy them if I had more money. You would have more money if you didn't go shopping so often. If you won the lottery, I would buy a big house in the country. We would sleep much better if the neighbours' baby didn't cry all night
