𝑎𝑡𝑝𝑟𝑜𝑣𝑖𝑑𝑒𝑑 𝑡h𝑎𝑡
e.g. you look tired, you had better not go to school today.
Verb in Future + 𝑎𝑠 𝑙𝑜𝑛𝑔 𝑎𝑠

+ verb in present simple

2. Expressing wishes and desires 4. Result/Consequence


-Expressing results we use: 𝑠𝑜 + 𝑎𝑑𝑗 + 𝑡h𝑎𝑡
Present wish: (wish, past simple) 𝑠𝑢𝑐h + 𝑎 𝑛𝑜𝑢𝑛𝑝h𝑟𝑎𝑠𝑒 + 𝑡h𝑎𝑡
e.g. I wish I spoke Italian. (I don't speak Italian.)
Present wish expresses an imaginary situation impossible to happen. - Subject + verb + so + adjective + that + the rest of the sentence.
If only = wish e.g. copies of brand are so cheap that some consumers don’t
