The sixteenth unit focused on conditionals and reported speech. Conditionals are sentences that refer to future, present and past possibilities and contain "If, when". Zero conditional (form: If/when + present tense, present tense) refers to actions that are irrefutable such as "if you mix red and blue, you get purple." First conditional (form: if + present simple, will) is used for real situations in the future that will most likely happen such as "if you don't hurry, you'll miss the school bus". Second conditional (form: if + past simple, would/could/might + base form) is used for a present or future hypothetical situation (e.g. If it rained, you would get wet). Third conditional (form if + past perfect, would/could/might + have + past participle) refers to hypothetical past actions and results. The mixed conditional is a combination of the second and third conditional forms and refers to hypothetical past actions and hypothetical present consequences.
Reported speech is indirect speech and can communicate something someone said previously. Backshifting is how the time expressions change depending on if it's reported speech or directed speech.
