Conditional - if

Conditional sentences. “If” clause: verb in past tense, main clause: verb in present tense

Conditional sentences that contain an “if” clause in the past and end with the main clause in the present are generally expressing imaginative or hypothetical conditions. In these conditional sentences, the past perfect is used to refer to a past event. As a refresher, the past perfect expresses the idea that something occurred before in another action. These sentences can also show the reader that something happened before a specific time in the past. Therefore, the form of the unreal conditional sentence in this situation is as follows:

If + past perfect, would + have + past participle

Consider the following sentence

If I had had time, I would have cleaned the house.

The speaker in this sentence is informing their audience that they did not have time to clean the house.

Countable & Uncountable Nouns

COUNTABLE NOUNS

Countable nouns are for things we can count using numbers. They have a singular and a plural form. The singular form can use the determiner "a" or "an". If you want to ask about the quantity of a countable noun, you ask "How many?" combined with the plural countable noun.

Singular	Plural
one dog	two dogs
one horse	two horses
one man	two men
one idea	two ideas
one shop	two shops

EXAMPLES

• She has three dogs.
• I own a house.
• I would like two books please.
• How many friends do you have?

UNCOUNTABLE NOUNS

Uncountable nouns are for the things that we cannot count with numbers. They may be the names for abstract ideas or qualities or for physical objects that are too small or too amorphous to be counted (liquids, powders, gases, etc.). Uncountable nouns are used with a singular verb. They usually do not have a plural form.

EXAMPLES

• tea
• sugar
• water
• air
• rice
• knowledge
• beauty
• anger
• fear
• love
• money
• research
• safety
• evidence

We cannot use a/an with these nouns. To express a quantity of an uncountable noun, use a word or expression like some, a lot of, much, a bit of, a great deal of , or else use an exact measurement like a cup of, a bag of, 1kg of, 1L of, a handful of, a pinch of, an hour of, a day of. If you want to ask about the quantity of an uncountable noun, you ask "How much?"

EXAMPLES

• There has been a lot of research into the causes of this disease.
• He gave me a great deal of advice before my interview.
• Can you give me some information about uncountable nouns?
• He did not have much sugar left.
• Measure 1 cup of water, 300g of flour, and 1 teaspoon of salt.
• How much rice do you want?

TRICKY SPOTS

Some nouns are countable in other languages but uncountable in English. They must follow the rules for uncountable nouns. The most common ones are:
accommodation, advice, baggage, behavior, bread, furniture, information, luggage, news, progress, traffic, travel, trouble, weather, work

EXAMPLES

• I would like to give you some advice.
• How much bread should I bring?
• I didn't make much progress today.
• This looks like a lot of trouble to me.
• We did an hour of work yesterday.

Be careful with the noun hair which is normally uncountable in English, so it is not used in the plural. It can be countable only when referring to individual hairs.

EXAMPLES

• She has long blond hair.
• The child's hair was curly.
• I washed my hair yesterday.
• My father is getting a few grey hairs now. (refers to individual hairs)
• I found a hair in my soup! (refers to a single strand of hair)

Untuk Dia yang Tertulis Namanya Bersamaku di Lauh Mahfuzh 2

Dari tiap jarak yang memisahkan
Dari tiap rindu yang mengesankan
Ada butiran doa untukmu
Sepadan banyaknya waktu yang kita habiskan
Jangan bersedih, Malaikat pun "iri" denganmu
Karena Ia tau, kamu menungguku dengan menjaga
Jangan menangis, Allah pun tau
Karena jarak ini sebuah pertemuan yang halal pada akhirnya
Wahai separuh agamaku
Aku tau sebuah dongeng yang selalu indah akhirnya di dunia ini
Dan juga aku tau ada sebuah kisah yang indah akhirnya hingga akhirat nanti
Aku ingin keduanya, meski tidak selalu manis
Bersamamu, yakinku berbalut ikhlas dan penantian
Jangan ragu
Ada kemenangan panjang setelah banyaknya ujian
Ada kebahagiaan Islam setelah banyaknya cobaan

3. test tutorial

4. interview by the Assistant

5. test using microsoft word
