Tenses game.

Hi again!
I did all the three exercices.
My score wasn´t very good, but not because of my knowledge about tenses is awful. in fact it was all beacause I was a mess looking for treasure :p

The hardest part for me were the sentences with the conditional structure. I am still having problems with those ones.

for example this one

When Michael sees the film, he cries.
When Michael sees the film, he will cry.

good exercice!!

bye!

HI again,

Don't worry about the treasure too much!

Conditional sentences can be difficult because they are all about subtle differences in meaning rather than one is correct and the other wrong.

For example, in the two you have picked, the first one suggests that Michael regularly watches the film, and every time he does, he starts crying - like my girlfriend when she watches Extreme Makeover: Total Reconstruction on cable channel 58!

In the second sentence it is a prediction about a film Michael hasn't seen yet. When he does watch the film, I am sure he will start to cry because I know he is emotional.

Both sentences are perfectly correct, it just depends on what meaning we intend to convey.
