Warm-up

Before we look back at unit 2:

1. Do you share anything with your neighbors, like a laundry room, a yard or a parking lot?
2. Have you ever lent something to a neighbor and never gotten it back?
3. Have you ever blamed someone for something and then found out that you were wrong?

Grammar rule

The five points of unit 2

Lesson	Form	Use	Example
6	needn't have + past participle · didn't need to + verb	we did it, but it wasn't necessary · it wasn't necessary (usually we didn't do it)	He needn't have shaved: the interview was by phone. · I didn't need to change trains, so the trip was easy.
7	must / might / could / can't have + past participle	guesses about the past, from evidence	There's sand in his shoes. He must have been at the beach.
8	wish / if only + past perfect	regrets about the past	If only I hadn't deleted those photos!
9	wish + would / wouldn't + verb	someone or something should change	I wish the kids next door wouldn't kick their ball into our yard.
10	reporting verb + its pattern	what someone did when they spoke	He apologized for interrupting, and she agreed to wait.

Five things to watch: needn't have only for something that really happened; could have or might have for a guess, never can have; had + past participle for a regret about the past (I wish I had gone, not I wish I went); no would in a wish about yourself or about a state (I wish I could, I wish it were); suggest that + base verb or suggest + -ing, and deny / admit + -ing.
