Speaking Practice
Discuss these hypothetical past situations with a partner.
- Think of a decision you made in the past. How would your life be different if you had decided differently?
- Imagine a famous historical event. What would have happened if it had gone differently?
- Have you ever missed an opportunity (a trip, a job, a meeting)? What would have happened if you hadn't missed it?
- Think of a mistake you or someone you know made. What would you have done differently?
Use 'would have', 'might have', and 'could have' — try to use all three in your discussion.
