- The crime was committed by a lone gunman. (“lone” can come before nouns)
- The gunman was alone when he committed the crime. (“alone” can come after linking verbs)
- (some linking verbs: be, become, get, seem, look, sound, feel, smell, taste)

- I can do it. -> I k’n do it.
- I can’t do it.
- - The stress is very important in sentences with “can”, because if you stress “can” people will often hear “can’t”.
- ---
- You can can cans but you can’t can can-cans. - This sentence is only understandable if your stress and intonation patterns are correct.
- ---
- p. 142 part 1 - With a partner, make sure you understand the words in the box. (If you don’t, use a dictionary or an image search.)

- Grammar: modals for regret
- “should have” is usually unreal - it expresses regret about the past
- We should have taken more repellent. = It was a good idea to take it, but we didn’t.
- We shouldn’t have put up our tents there. = It wasn’t a good idea, but we did it.
- “could have” can be real (like in unit 8) or unreal (like here)
- We could have been killed. = It was possible, but it didn’t happen.
- (Help me find my lottery ticket. I could have won. = It’s possible, but I don’t know yet.)
- “couldn’t have” means something was impossible even if we’d done different things
- We couldn’t have avoided the insects. = It wasn’t possible to avoid them. It wouldn’t matter if we went at a different time of year or brought more repellent, because Siberia always has mosquitoes.
- ---
- part 10 - Complete the paragraph with “should have”, “shouldn’t have”, “could have”, or “couldn’t have”, and the past participle of the verb.
- 1 shouldn’t have eaten
- 2 couldn’t have felt = I felt the worst that it’s possible to feel.
- 3 should have had
- 4 should have taken
- 5 could have died
- ---
- We often use “couldn’t” or “couldn’t have” with a comparative to mean something is superlative:
- I couldn’t be better. = I’m doing the best possible.
- You couldn’t be more wrong. = You are as wrong as it’s possible to be.
- ---
- We often reduce “have” to “ve” or just “a” in informal speech:
- I could have died. -> I could’ve died. -> “I coulda died.”
- I should have taken it. -> I should’ve taken it. -> “I shoulda taken it.”
- I couldn’t have felt worse. -> “I couldn’t’ve felt worse.” -> “I couldna felt worse.”
- I shouldn’t have done that. -> “I shouldn’t’ve done that. -> “I shouldna done that.”
- ---
- We sometimes use the expression “coulda, shoulda, woulda” to stop wondering about what might have happened differently. “That’s in the past, stop worrying about it.”
- ---
- BREAK
- ---
- The Man Who Ate His Boots
- What kind of story do you think this is?
- Why do you think he ate his boots?
- (It might be hyperbole or exaggeration. He didn’t really eat his boots, but he was starving.)
- p. 144 part 1 - What is the Arctic like? How do the people who live there deal with the challenges.
- Read the text.
- ---
- Grammar: third conditional = past unreal conditional
- - They could have avoided the problems if they had copied the Inuit.
- They didn’t avoid the problems because they didn’t copy the Inuit.
- - If they had learned to build igloos, the explorers would have been warm.
- They didn’t learn to build igloos, so they weren’t warm.
- - If the explorers had worn sealskin, they wouldn’t have suffered from frostbite.
- They didn’t wear sealskin, so they suffered from frostbite.
- - Parry’s men wouldn’t have been as healthy if they hadn’t eaten the salads.
- Parry’s men were healthy because they ate the salads.
- form: if + [past perfect], subj + would/could/might + have + past participle
- (If you write the clauses in the opposite order, you don’t need the comma.)
- ---
- They might have survived if they had built igloos. = I’m not sure, maybe they still would have died from something else. But survival would have been a possibility if they’d had igloos.
- I could have helped you if you had told me. = I would have been able to help.
- (In reality, I couldn’t help you because you didn’t tell me.)
- I would have helped you if you had paid me.
- (In reality, I didn’t help you because you didn’t pay me.)
- ---
- Like in second conditional, the “default” modal to use is “would”.
- ---
- p. 145 part 9 - First, match the pairs of sentences. Then combine them into one third conditional sentence.
- 1 b - If we had planned everything better, the vacation wouldn’t have been a disaster.
- 2 c - If we had known how to read the road signs, we might not have gotten lost.
- 3 e - If we had taken a phrase book, we could have asked for help.
- 4 d - If the local people hadn’t given us directions, we couldn’t have found the way back to the main road.
- 5 a - If we hadn’t forgotten to check the museum opening times, we wouldn’t have gotten there too late.
- If we had remembered to check the opening times, we would have gotten there on time.
- 6 f - If we had bought tickets ahead of time, we could have gotten into the museum.
- ---
- Often, “couldn’t have” implies a third conditional even when you don’t say “if”:
- We couldn’t have avoided the insects (even if we had brought more repellent).
- I couldn’t have felt worse (even if I’d broken my legs).
- I won’t go running if it rains.
- I will go running even if it rains. = I will go running in any weather.
- ---
- p. 172 practice 2 - Complete the third conditional sentences with the correct forms of the verbs.
- 2 would have found, hadn’t lost
- 3 Would you have planned, had known
- 4 had prepared, would have succeeded
- 5 would have been, had understood
- 6 would you have done, had attacked
- 7 wouldn’t have felt, had read
- 8 had wanted, would have welcomed
