Conditioal Sentence Short Story

3rd Conditional

Ryan’s Crazzy Class Trip

Today Ryan woke up late for school. If Ryan had remembered that today was a class trip, he would have arrived on time. If Ryan hadn’t been late, his classmates wouldn’t have been annoyed at him. If he had remembered they were visiting a farm, he wouldn’t have worn his best clothes. If he had known they were going horseback riding, he would have worn his cowboy hat. If Ryan hadn’t tried doing cowboy tricks on the horse, he wouldn’t have ended up face first in the mud. Also, if he had stayed away from the cows as he was told, he wouldn’t have been chased around by an angry herd. After lunch the class went berry picking. If he had listened to the warning about poisonous berries, Ryan wouldn’t have spent the afternoon in the hospital. But if Ryan had behaved himself all day, he wouldn’t have had so many funny stories to tell his parents when he got home.

THE PASSIVE

QUICK WORK

Ted Robinson has been worried all the week.  Last Tuesday he received a letter from the local police . In the letter he was asked to call at the station. ¹Ted wondered why he was wanted by the police, but he went to the station yesterday and now he is not worried any more. ²At the station , he was told by a smiling policeman that his bicycle had been found. Five days ago, the policeman told him, the bicycle was picked up in a small village four hundred miles away. ³It is now being sent to his home by train. Ted was most surprised when he heard the new. He was amused too, because he never expected the bicycle to be found. It was stolen twenty years ago when Ted was a boy of fifteen !
