Hi,

Pls help

The floods devastated the villages and towns.
______________created_______________.

Thanks.

Do you mind letting us know what the teacher's answer is. I find the word \"created\" in this context a little awkward.

Thank you.

Hi tianzhu,

Hi anneshirleygilbert,

Will post the answer if we get back the worksheet, it's school work.
(sometimes we won't get the see 'it' again). That's why I want to teach my daughter the correct answer in case we dont get to see it again.

Thank u very much Mr Tianzhu. I thought as much, however the teacher has given option 4 as the answer. I wonder why!

KRR[/quote]The answer should be option (3) as this is the third type of conditional sentence to express regret. The 'clue' is the phrase 'would have known', which is used together with the past perfect tense.

Thanks, tianzhu. I taught my boy that too but his teacher said that the answer is (1) because of the word \"today\". So now, I am not sure....

Answer should be 2. The clue is the word 'would', which in past tense tells you that this is a Conditional Sentence 2 (and the sentence starts with the word 'if' in front). This is a person wishing for a situation which will not come true (possibly because the 'she' referred to in the question had already passed away).
