Use this phrase to give advice

If I were you...

If I were you, I´d take a cab to the airport

Don´t use WOULD in the IF clause

Second conditional or First Conditional?

We use FIRST CONDITIONAL when we think a future event is likely. We use SECOND CONDITIONAL when we think a future event is less likely.

If it rains tomorrow, we´ll go shopping. If it rained tomorrow, we´d go shopping.

Write a Great Title Here

Visual content is a cross-cultural and universal language, just like music. We are able to understand images from millions of years ago, even from other cultures. We don't like to bore. We don't want to be repetitive. We do it differently. We sabotage boredom. We create what the brain enjoys consuming because it stimulates it.
