|---|---|
| Answer | 1 |
| a | were/would study |
| b | would be/would study |
| c | were/studied |
| d | would be/studied |
| comment | When we speak about imaginary situations, which differ from real facts in the present, we use Conditional 2: If-clause (if + Past Simple) - Main Clause (would/could + present without 'to'). The meaning of this sentence: 'in reality Kate does not study hard'. (I am not Kate, and I will not be able to be her). |
