Методическая разработка по теме: 2nd Conditional на основе песни "If I were Sorry"

"If I Were Sorry"

I’d crawl through the desert on my hands and knees

Rehearsin’ my pretty please

Climb the highest mountain

If I were sorry

Shout it from the top

Swim under water until my lungs exploded

Walk into the fire

If I were sorry

I’d run a thousand miles

Wouldn’t stop until I dropped

Wouldn’t take a break to breathe until I got close

Enough

Then I’d do it all again

If I really had the chance

But I know deep inside for you it’s just another

dance

If I were sorry

I’d give you all the glory

if I were sorry

If I were sorry

it would be a different story

If I were sorry

if I were sorry oh

I’d hold my breath till my face turned blue

I’d rob a bank and the post office too

Swim across the ocean

If I were sorry

I’d take a vow of silence

I wouldn’t say a single word

Until you really heard

If I were sorry

I’d run a thousand miles

Wouldn’t stop until I dropped

Wouldn’t take the break to breathe

Until I got close enough

If I were sorry

I’d give you all the glory

if I were sorry

If I were sorry

it would be a different story

if I were sorry oh

Now did you ever realise

that your mistake had a prize

oh you threw it all away

’cause you’re the devil in disguise

Now would you ever realise

the consequences of your lies

and would you save the falling tear or act as if

there’s nothing there

If I were sorry

if I were sorry

If I were sorry

if I were sorry

If I were sorry

I’d take a vow of silence

I wouldn’t say a single word

if I were sorry

If I were sorry

I’d be on my hands and knees

Beggin' pretty please

if I were sorry

but I’m not sorry, no

Un unreal conditional sentence expresses events that are hypothetical or unreal. Some “if” clauses use “were” even if the pronoun is singular. In these statements, the writer is specifying an event is impossible in the present. In addition, unreal conditional “if” clauses refer to event in the present, as in “If I were you, I would not do this.” In truth, the speaker is telling their audience “I am not you.” Consider the following sentences: If he were here right now, he would help us. In this sentence, the speaker is really saying “He is not here right now.”
