Answer :
These sentences require you to complete them by using the correct form of the conditional based on the ideas expressed in the first sentence. Let's go through each one step-by-step:
The weather was horrible last night, so Thomas decided to stay at home.
- If the weather hadn't been horrible last night, Thomas might have gone out.
- In this conditional sentence, we are looking at what could have possibly happened if the conditions were different. The use of "might have gone out" implies that if the weather was not horrible, Thomas would have considered going out.
I didn't tell the doctor about the headaches because he didn't ask me about them.
- If the doctor had asked me about the headaches, I would have told him about them.
- This sentence uses a past perfect conditional to show that an action would have happened differently if a specific condition (the doctor asking) was met.
I disagreed so strongly because I thought the nurse was wrong.
- I wouldn't have disagreed so strongly if I hadn't thought the nurse was wrong.
- Here, the past perfect conditional is used to indicate that the speaker’s actions were directly influenced by their belief about the nurse's correctness.
Anna didn't want to go to the dentist until she got terrible toothache last week.
- If Anna hadn't got terrible toothache last week, she still wouldn't have wanted to go to the dentist.
- This completion shows that Anna's desire to see the dentist was solely due to the occurrence of the toothache.
I was so hungry because we didn't have anything for lunch.
- I wouldn't have been so hungry if we had had something for lunch.
- This sentence implies that having food for lunch would have prevented the speaker from feeling hungry, using a conditional to reflect on how the outcome could have been different.
