Y con esto tienes las treinta

Lo que separa un B2 de un C1 en este tema no son los cuatro condicionales: son los mixtos (ficha 2 y 6) y la inversión sin if (ficha 3 y 9). Una sola frase con Had I known… bien colocada en un writing sube la nota de language más que veinte frases correctas.

Sigue con wish e if only, que usa exactamente la misma lógica, o con la parte 4 del B2 First, donde se preguntan.
