It is a pity that people write with so many mistakes.
It all started with the wide use of mobile phones
in the XX century. At that time, there wasn't
Azerbaijani alphabet in the keyboard language of
mobile phones.
If they had added Azerbaijani alphabet, people
wouldn't have started using 'e' instead of 'ə', 'u'
instead of 'ü', 'sh' instead of 'ş', 'c' instead of 'ç', 'i'
'ı' or 'o' instead of 'ö'.(1)
It is a pity that you can hardly find a post with proper
Azerbaijani. How the language has been distorted !
For me, all blame should lay on social media.
If they hadn't invented social media, illiterate people
wouldn't have started publicising their thoughts or
opinions that widely.
Such people would have had better language skills if
they had spent their time reading a book instead of
surfing social media.(2)

Look at the underlined conditional sentences in Task 2 and
choose the correct option.
1. In Third Conditional, the actions in the sentences refer to the past / present.
2. The 'if clause' can come either first or second / always comes first. 3. We use would have / past perfect after 'if'. |
