Exercício 1
Fill in the blank with the term used in Eva's song!
If I you, I'd eat less food
Bonus question! Eva sings:
I'd eat less food. This means "I eat less food".
If I you, I'd eat less food
Bonus question! Eva sings:
I'd eat less food. This means "I eat less food".
Fill in the blank with the term used in Eva's song!
If I were 1 you, I'd eat less food
Bonus question! Eva sings:
I'd eat less food. This means "I would 2 eat less food".
If I were 1 you, I'd eat less food
Bonus question! Eva sings:
I'd eat less food. This means "I would 2 eat less food".
1 were: "Were" is the right answer. We say "If I WERE you (I would leave my husband)". This is an example of the subjunctive past tense used in a hypothetical situation. To form the past subjunctive, we normally use the past simple: "If I had more time, I'd invite you to stay for tea", "It's time we went home". However, the verb "to be" is slightly different, taking "were": "If I were you...", "If he were less lazy...". It's ok to say "If I WAS you..." in spoken English, although this isn't strictly correct.
2 would: "Would" is the term we need to complete this conditional construction. "If I were you, I'd eat less food" means that if Eva were in the same position as Harold (a bit fat!), then she would want to eat less, or go on a diet to lose weight. This is a hypothetical situation, so we need the subjunctive past tense + the conditional (would) here.
2 could: "Could" is grammatically incorrect here. "Could" suggests possibility: "I could come and visit you if you like". However, we need "would" for this sentence to make sense.
2 must: "Must" is grammatically incorrect here. "Must" expresses obligation or a necessity to do something: "You must wear a seatbelt in the car". However, we need the conditional, "would" for this sentence to make sense.
2 will: "Will" is used to form the future tense: "If it rains, we will cancel the picnic". However, we need a conditional, "would", for this sentence to make sense.
Exercício 2
Select the sentences that are grammatically correct from the list below. There may be more than one correct answer, or there may be only one!
Select the sentences that are grammatically correct from the list below. There may be more than one correct answer, or there may be only one!
This sentence is grammatically incorrect. We could say either 'Would you ever drink a glass of olive oil?' or 'Had you ever drunk a glass of olive oil (before today)?'.
The correct version of this sentence would be 'I would love to try the world’s most dangerous roller coaster', expressing a wish or desire. Note that if we wanted to refer to a past event prior to another past event, we would say: 'I had loved trying the world’s most dangerous roller coaster'.
This sentence correctly uses the past perfect tense to ask whether something (meeting the speaker's sister) had already happened previously. A similar example: 'Before I started working here, I had never even been inside an office'.
The correct version of this sentence would be 'I would agree to his proposal if I were you'. The phrase 'if I were you', which is used to give advice, is always accompanied by the conditional. Another example: 'I'd divorce him if I were you'.

Complete the sentences below based on the dialogue!
Eva is an elevator 1.
Eva tells Harold Warbuckle that he is fat 2.
True or false: Harold likes the music in the elevator --> TRUE 3.
Eva is an elevator 1.
Eva tells Harold Warbuckle that he is fat 2.
True or false: Harold likes the music in the elevator --> TRUE 3.
1 an elevator: This is the right answer. Eva says "I'm Eva, the musical elevator". An "elevator" is a machine which carries you to different floors or levels of a building. In the UK, the term "lift" is used to describe these useful devices!
1 an elevator attendant: This is not the best choice. An "elevator attendant" is an employee of a building, hotel, etc. whose job is to assist people using the elevator (US) or "lift" (UK). Eva is not a person: she is the elevator itself!
1 Harold's favourite singer: This is not the best choice. There is no suggestion that Eva is Harold's favourite singer, although he does enjoy her song.
1 a singing receptionist: This is not the best choice. A "receptionist" is an employee who welcomes people to an office, and often answers the phones. This is not Eva's job, although Eva does sing!
2 he is fat: This is the best choice here. Eva sings that "the person I'm carrying is overweight" and tells Harold that there is "too much food on his big, fat plate". If someone is "overweight", they are "fat" or "too heavy". Eva is being rather rude to Harold in her song!
2 the elevator is broken: This is incorrect. There is no suggestion that the elevator is "broken" or experiencing problems. At the end of the song, Eva says "Floor 6". This means that she has successfully delivered Harold to his destination.
2 she wants to get fit: This is incorrect. Eva tells Harold "If I were you, I'd try to get fit". This construction means that Harold should get fit, not Eva. To "get fit", is to become more healthy, sporty, or active, or to get in better physical shape. "If I were you, I would..." is a good way of giving someone advice.
2 floor 6 is too far: This is incorrect. Eva sings "Floor 6 isn't far away", meaning that it is NOT too far for her to carry Harold.
3 TRUE: This is the right choice. Harold says "it sure it is nice to have some elevator music". If something is "nice", then we "like" or "enjoy" it. Harold is enjoying the music in the elevator.
3 FALSE: This is not a false statement.
