Key Grammar Structures
-
If you are found to be harbouring an infected, you will be managed as an infected.
➔ Conditional Sentence (Type 1/Real)
➔ This sentence uses the first conditional, expressing a likely outcome based on a real condition. "If" + present simple, "will" + base form. Here, "If" you "are found" (passive voice) to be harbouring... "you will be managed".
-
You promise to keep her safe.
➔ Infinitive of Purpose
➔ The phrase "to keep her safe" explains the purpose of the promise. The structure is verb + "to" + infinitive.
-
Wish you were here.
➔ Subjunctive Mood (Unreal Past)
➔ This is a shortened form of "I wish you were here." It expresses a desire for a situation that is contrary to reality (you are not here). The past subjunctive "were" is used even when the subject is singular. This can also be expressed as 'I wish you would be here', to express annoyance.
-
You should be dead by now.
➔ Modal Verb + Perfect Infinitive (should have)
➔ "Should be dead" implies an expectation that someone is dead, given the circumstances. "Should have" + past participle expresses regret or a missed opportunity in the past. Here, the "have" is omitted for brevity, but implied. The full sentence would be 'You should have been dead by now.'
