B1-B2 ESL Mastery: Conditionals & Wish Review
---text
If we have enough money next month, we will travel to Spain. We are looking at flights now, and they are quite reasonable. However, my sister wishes we could go to Japan instead. If we went to Japan, it would cost a lot more, and we couldn't afford the hotels. Last year, we went to France. If we had known it was going to rain the entire week, we would have chosen a different month! This year, I hope the weather is beautiful wherever we go.
