Past unreal conditional.

Practice the following conversation:

                                             AS.2.2.1

Student 1: I wonder if I might have qualified for the loan if I had a better credit score.
Student 2: You could have qualified if you had shopped around more for better interest rates.
Student 1: True. If I had paid off my credit history earlier, I might have been approved by now.
Student 2: Yeah, you could have been approved if you had made a bigger down payment.
Student 1: I guess I should have paid off some of my debts sooner. If I had done that, I might have been able to take out the loan.
Student 2: It’s all about timing. If I had known better, I would have compared more options for the interest rate before deciding.
Student 1: I might have been turned down if I hadn’t fixed my credit history, so I just went with the first option I found.
Student 2: Yeah, sometimes you could have avoided rejection if you had more patience.
Student 1: I guess next time I would shop around more before making a decision.
Student 2: Definitely! It's better to be patient and make an informed choice.
