WIND UP AND CONDITIONALS

                               But if he didn't...    
                           
                           
                            Wind Up

The  idiom "wind up" is similar to "end up." Use this to describe a place or a situation where you come to rest or finish:
 
- After several years of drifting, he wound up in Atlanta.She wound up in a good job after she graduated from college.Where did you wind up going last night?You can also use this for time:What time did the party wind up last night?  

Specially for  Beth  Williams - CONDITIONALS!!!

Examples:
If I see the manager, I'll tell him you need his help.
It's possible that I see the manager, isn't it? 
Let's make talk about almost everyone's favorite subject - money!
If I save enough money, I'll take a trip to Italy
Possible? Totally(Let's forget that I'm a teacher for a moment...HaHa!) 
 Now I'm imagining a situation:
If I won the lottery, I would travel around the world
(Notice that I'm using verbs in the past to express an imaginary situation in the future.
(Why don't I travel around the world? I'm just a teacher. Why? because I didn't marry the millionaire who loved me. But...)

If I had married him, I would have visited any country I wanted.
Did I? No, so, it's unreal.
In other words:
- First Conditional: possible
If + present + future
- Second: imaginary
if + past + would/could
- Third: unreal
If + past perfect + would/could + present perfect
 More Examples:
First Conditional:
or
     
      or
        
 Second Conditional:

        
         
 Third Conditional:
I lived in Italy some years ago. But if  I had lived in  
Paris, instead,  I would have learnt French and I would have   
visited the Louvre.
