PACOND Sherlock 5

Past Conditional

if + past perfect


If she ____ him, he’d have had as much as he wanted.
Если бы она расщедрилась, у него было бы столько, сколько бы он только захотел.



SHERLOCK: He’s treating her to a meal but his own portion is small. That means he wants to impress her, but he’s trying to economise on his own food.
JOHN: Well, maybe he’s just not hungry.
SHERLOCK: No, small plate. Starter. He’s practically licked it clean. She’s nearly finished her pavlova. If she’d treated him, he’d have had as much as he wanted. He’s hungry all right, and not well-off – you can tell that by the state of his cuffs and shoes.
