IF IT HADN´T BEEN FOR LOVE…. (1B2)
LISTEN CAREFULLY TO THIS SONG BY ADELE. THE THIRD CONDITIONAL IS USED REPEATEDLY. DO YOU REMEMBER HOW IT´S USED?
Adele If It Hadn’t Been For Love
Never would have 1) _____________ to Birmingham
If it hadn’t been for love
Never woulda 2 ____________ the train to Louisiana
If it hadn’t been for love
Never woulda 3) __________ through the blindin’ rain
Without one dollar to my name
If it hadn’t been, if it hadn’t been for love
Never woulda 4)__________ the trouble that I’m in
If it hadn’t been for love
Woulda been 5) ___________ like a wayward wind
If it hadn’t been for love
Nobody knows it better than me
I wouldn’t be wishing I was free
If it hadn’t been, if it hadn’t been for love
Four cold walls against my will
At least I know he’s lying still
Four cold walls without parole
Lord have mercy on my soul
Never woulda 6) ___________ to that side of town
If it hadn’t been for love
Never woulda 7) __________ a mind to track him down
If it hadn’t been for love
Never woulda 8) ____________ up a forty four
Put myself behind a jail house door
If it hadn’t been, if it hadn’t been for love
Four cold walls against my will
At least I know he’s lying still
Four cold walls without parole
Lord have mercy on my soul
Never woulda 9) __________________ to Birmingham
If it hadn’t been for love
Never woulda 10) __________ the train to Louisian’
If it hadn’t been for love
Never woulda 11) _____________ up a forty four
Put myself behind a jail house door
If it hadn’t been, if it hadn’t been for love
If it hadn’t been, if it hadn’t been for love
If it hadn’t been, if it hadn’t been for love
(ORIGINAL IDEA BY BUSYTEACHER)
- WHAT DID SHE DO FOR LOVE?
- WHAT´S “WOULDA”?

Hi,
beautiful song from Adele, I like her so much. What can we do for love? everything… even, go to jail, like in the song.
“Woulda” might be a contraction of “would have”??
See you…

I’ve found out that a 44 could be a 44 Remington Magnum so, she carried a gun. Besides that, she says “At least I know he’s lying still” . This leads me to believe that she murdered someone.
I think using the third conditional we can express regret because we can’t change the past.

4 COLD WALLS WITHOUT PAROLE might refer to prison / jail
“PUT MYSELF BEHIND A JAILHOUSE DOOR”
SO A 44 should be a kind of gun
YOU¨RE right about the use of the 3RD CONDITIONAL for REGRETS
