If I had discovered Greg's way of teaching earlier I would realise how English can be more interesting than French

Hi Greg, could you explain the difference between 2-nd conditional and mixed conditional in your last-minute video cut. The structures for both are the same (if verb form 2 + would infinitive), but the tenses are different - what is the trick?
Best wishes,
Eduard

Hello Greg.
Unlike three first "Conditionals" videos, this one puzzled me a bit. I do agree that grammatical combinations you exampled are common in written and spoken English. However, if I were you, I would describe and comment these phrases differently. At least few of them. So:
1) "If I had more money I would have bought that car yesterday". A timing marker "yesterday" shall be understood that is nothing to refer to present tense. Today I might posses a car; different, of course, not that I wanted to purchase yesterday. So, neither money, nor car is related to present tense.
2) I can attach adequate comment regarding next sentence "If I knew him I would have say "hello". It might happen a minute, a week & a month ago. I don't feel here any present tense again.
3) Neither present, nor future I don't smell in the next example: "If she had more time, she would study another language". It might be about my grandmother who confessed me 20 years ago that communication skills in German language would make her life much easier in the years 1941-1944. However, she had to take care about her younger siblings. Consequently, she didn't have any time for mastering her intermediate level of German.
So again, Greg...Maybe this mixed conditional is something more scientific, just grammatical, than practical? Maybe these and other examples could represent variations of the third conditional?
Before you start sending damnations on my stupid head, remember that I am a bit dumb. And therefore, I am a Slow Learner.
P. S. Since you advised not to apologize for mistakes in one of your video, I don't do it. I think my text is understandable anyway. The only thing I apologize is a length of my scribble.

P. P. S. Thank you to everyone who read to the end.

Thank you Greg! This is really very helpful.

If I had seen your lecture yesterday, I would have prepared my presentation perfectly.
(Is it correct Greg?)

[rubeng]

my turn: if I had discovered Greg's OLA (in the past), I would feel more confident with myself (now) :)
Thank you very much Greg!

[joelmasamba]

Your videos are rather helpful so i would rather you kept teaching us coz I've been understanding a lot from your lessons

[garsha]

If I'd known you earlier, I would speak English perfectly now

[adamas]

If I were sick, I wouldn't go on holiday. If I were supposed to go to school tomorrow, I would have slept earlier. If I hadn't known about your channel earlier, I wouldn't be watching your videos rn. IDK if I wrote it right, but I put my effort into it.

[madeleinesunshine]

If I had found your channel earlier, I would have more knowledge now.

[dushanthachandrasekara]

Need an explanation on usage of "BEING" and its various grammatical applications in ur coming vedios

[maciejfratczak]

8:47 many preferred to say: If I would be going or if I would go :)

[monarou]

I love grammar lessons, especially yours!
These mixte conditionals are easy to understand for a French brain.
I think a sentence like " stop whining, and I'll stop shopping!" is also a form of conditional sentence.
"Give money or I shoot", too.
In these two sentences without any grammar form of conditional, there is a condition.
Right?

And if I write "Have a great day, and I'll be in touch soon." doesn't it seem like a condition to have a great day ?!

0:20 "If you HAVE SEEN my other videos in the series, you WILL KNOW that in each Conditional sentence has two parts" Which Conditional is this? Thank you so much for this series.

Hi Greg, give me a way of mastering conditionals. A more simplified way. Thanks

[corporation]

If I were going to meet you I would be so excited

[davidmelara]

Hi, Greg. Would you mind giving me some feedback?
One british woman told another: "Would you mind if I HAD the last piece of cake?". She said that BEFORE taking it.

My native tongue is Spanish, so, I would have said: Would you mind if I HAVE (instead of "had", which is past) the last piece of cake?

If I am wrong, I really appreciate to know why.

You're the best!
