25. Complete the following conversation with the correct form of each verb in brackets.

A:What’s wrong? Why are you looking so angry?

B: I’ve just failed my driving test. I’m sure I (pass) it if I (have) a different examiner.

A:So you think it was all the examiner’s fault?

B: No, it wasn’t only the examiner’s fault. A pedestrian suddenly ran into the middle of the road. If I (see) him, I (stop).

A: What? Do you mean you didn’t stop and you ran over the pedestrian?

B: No, no. Of course I stopped. I mean, if I (stop) sooner, I (be able) to avoid hitting that lamppost.

A: Just a moment. Are you saying you ran over a pedestrian and then hit a lamppost?

B: No! Uh… I mean yes. I mean, if I (not use) the brakes, I (run over) the pedestrian.

A: The brakes? You mean your brakes caused the accident?

B: No, not exactly. I mean, if I (not use) the brakes, the car (not go) out of control.

A: The car went out of control?

B: You see, when I saw him, I used the brakes, but because I was going a little too fast, I lost control of the car. I tried to explain all this to the examiner. If he (listen) to me, he (understand) it wasn’t my fault. It’s clear, isn’t it? I (not use) the brakes at all if the pedestrian (not run) into the road so suddenly. So, I’m going to make an official complaint about the driving examiner.
