3 Students ought to look for/over the materials to the exams.

Task3. Wish in present and past
1) I wish she (help) her mother to cook.(but she doesn`t)
2) I wish he (be) in that party( but he didn`t).

1) Learners would be amused if they knew the meaning of the word.
First, we have to identify the verb tense needed for the conditional sentence. In this case, we use the second conditional, which expresses an unreal or hypothetical situation in the present. Therefore, the correct verb form for "be" is "were" in the if-clause.

2) My brother would buy a car if he earned his wage.
Again, we are using the second conditional since it expresses a hypothetical or unreal situation in the present. The correct verb form for "buy" in the main clause is the present simple, as it refers to a possible action.

3) Developed countries would support poor countries if they asked them for help.
For the third conditional, we use past simple in the if-clause and would + base form in the main clause. This conditional is used to talk about unreal or hypothetical situations in the past.

Now let's move on to Task 2, where we have to choose the correct options:

1) The correct option is "broke into." This phrasal verb is used when someone enters a place illegally or forcefully, usually referring to a robbery.

2) The correct option is "breaks down." Here, "breaks down" means that something stopped working or functioning properly.

3) The correct option is "look over." This phrasal verb means to examine or review something carefully.

4) The correct option is "look out for." This phrasal verb means to be cautious and watchful for something or someone.

Finally, let's move on to Task 3, where we have to use the correct verb form using "wish":

1) I wish she helped her mother to cook, but she doesn't.
Here, we are expressing a present wish that is contrary to reality. Therefore, we use the verb form "helped," which is the past simple, even though it refers to the present situation.

2) I wish he had been at that party, but he wasn't.
In this case, we are expressing a past wish that didn't come true. Therefore, we use the verb form "had been," which is the past perfect tense.
