"The mind that opens a new idea will never have
an original size," said Albert Einstein. Traveling is
always a way to open your mind, get to know
other cultures and take advantage of other
opportunities. If you have the possibility, leave
your country, go abroad to study and let yourself
be carried away by the adventure.
1. Learn new languages more easily. If you travel
abroad to study and the results are in another
language, you will be asked to learn and apply the
new language. Learning the language is easier,
faster and more natural when used every day with
native characters.
2. International Friendships When you travel to
another country as a foreign student, you will
meet many people who are in your same
situation. Share new experiences with friends
3. Travel economically. Knowing Europe or South
America on your own costs a lot. However, if you
do it within the framework of your academic
training, you have the possibility of traveling and
knowing different places more economically.
4. Know other cultures. Know the culture of a
place in the sense of the customs and thoughts of
that population. Therefore, if you decide to study
several months abroad, have the opportunity to
live firsthand.
5. New perspective of your own country. When
interacting with foreigners to know what they
think about their people. In this way, even without
other perspectives of their own country.
6. Break with the routine. If you are one of those
people who are always busy between classes,
work groups and other projects, it is likely that the
things they do will cause them to fall apart if they
leave. That is not true, in addition, sometimes it is
necessary to take a semester free of obligations
and enjoy new experiences.
7. Have the possibility to learn from yourself.
When you are in a different world from yours,
reconsider your values, beliefs and points of view.
8. Explore in your identity. Spend time reading
more, explore your identity and the habits of your
family and friends. Let yourself be carried away by
the trip and discover things about yourself that
you know yourself.
9. Expand your curriculum vitae. Although the
number of students that form abroad is
increasing, there are still very few who are
encouraged. Make a difference, have an
experience of this type, it is an advantage in your
Curriculum Vitae and it can be more than one
hour of job search.
10. Improve your studies. Studying abroad can
help you to have an international perspective of
what you study and to have a more informed
concept about your career.

PAST FORMS OF MODALS
USE:
The Modals COULD, MAY, and MIGHT
are used with HAVE and the Past
Participle [V3] of verbs to speculate or
form opinions about possible events in
the past. MUST HAVE is used in the
same way to express logical deductions
about the past. SHOULD HAVE is used
to talk about expectations, suppositions,
and obligation in the past.
EXAMPLES:
"I'm worried. Jack should have been on
that train, but he wasn't."
"I'm sure it's OK; he must have taken a
later train."
"I don't know. He may have decided to
come by car. He might have had an
accident; you know how badly he
drives."
PAST CONDITIONALS
USE:
Past Conditionals are used to describe
conditions that will never be fulfilled
because the time in which they would
have occurred has ended.
FORM:
The condition clause begins with IF/IF...
NOT (or sometimes UNLESS). The verb
in the condition clause is either Past
Perfect or Past Perfect Progressive:
[IF + SUBJECT + HAD (NOT) + PAST
PARTICIPLE [V3]+ (VERB + ING)...]
The verb in the result (main) clause is in
the Past Conditional:
[SUBJECT + WOULD/COULD/MIGHT +
(NOT) HAVE + PAST PARTICIPLE [V3]+
(VERB + ING)...]
MIXED TIME CONDITIONALS
USE:
Mixed Time Conditionals are used to talk
about the present results of past
conditions.
FORM:
The condition clause begins with IF/IF...
NOT (or sometimes UNLESS). The verb
in the condition clause is either Past
Perfect or Past Perfect Progressive.
[IF + SUBJECT + HAD (NOT) + PAST
PARTICIPLE [V3] + (VERB + ING)...]
The result (main) clause contains a
Modal (i.e. WOULD, MIGHT, COULD) and
the base form of a verb, or the
progressive form of the verb.
[SUBJECT + WOULDCOULDMIGHT +
(NOT) HAVE + BASE FORM (VERB +
ING)...]
We can begin a sentence with either a
condition or a result clause.
MIGHT/MAY HAVE
USE:
We use MIGHT/MAY HAVE to speculate
or form opinions about possible events
in the past. MAY suggests a stronger
probability than MIGHT.
FORM:
AFFIRMATIVE and NEGATIVE
[SUBJECT + MAY/MIGHT (+ NOT) +
HAVE + PAST PARTICIPLE [V3]..]
EXAMPLES:
"She might have been the thief, but I
don't think she was."
"I may have met him before, or I may
have seen his photograph; I really can't
remember."
"They might not have gone without us."
MUST HAVE
USE:
We use MUST HAVE to express
deductions about past actions or events, FORM:
when the speaker uses logic to decide
what happened. [(Wh-Word) + COULD + SUBJECT +
HAVE + PAST PARTICIPLE [V3]]
FORM:
AFFIRMATIVE and NEGATIVE EXAMPLES:
"Couldn't he have arrived earlier?"
[SUBJECT + MUST (NOT) + HAVE + "What could we have done to prevent
PAST PARTICIPLE [V3]] the disaster?"
"How could she have known the way?"
EXAMPLES:
"The roads are all wet this morning;
it must have rained last night."
"The office is empty; everybody must
have gone home."
"The papers are still here; he must not
have finished the report."
Since MUST HAVE expresses a logical
deduction, it is almost never used in
questions.
SHOULD HAVE
USE:
We use SHOULD HAVE to talk about an
expectation, supposition or unfulfilled
obligation in the past. This may be
something which was not done,
although it was necessary, or something
which was done but was either wrong or
regretted.

FORM:
AFFIRMATIVE and NEGATIVE

[SUBJECT + SHOULD (+ NOT) + HAVE

+ PAST PARTICIPLE [V3]]

EXAMPLES:
"Our exam results should have
arrived by now. Let's check the
mailbox."
"I should have thanked Mary for her
help, but I completely forgot."
"We shouldn't have invited James to the
party; he behaved very badly."

QUESTIONS
FORM:
[(Wh-Word) + SHOULD(N'T) + SUBJECT
+ HAVE + PAST PARTICIPLE [V3]]

EXAMPLES:
"Shouldn't the bride have arrived by
now? It's very late."
"Should we have waited for the next
train?"
"What should I have done when the fire
started?"
"Why shouldn't I have read that letter?"

NOTE: All the above questions imply

that the opposite actually happened: the
package hasn't arrived yet, we didn't
wait for the next train, I did nothing (or
I did the wrong thing) when the fire
started, and I read the letter.

COULD HAVE
USE:
We use COULD HAVE to talk about an
action or event which was possible, but
did not happen, or (negative form)
which was impossible, in the past. We
often use COULD HAVE in the result
clause of Unreal Past Conditionals.

FORM:
AFFIRMATIVE and NEGATIVE

[SUBJECT + COULD (+NOT) + HAVE +

PAST PARTICIPLE [V3]..]

EXAMPLES:
"I could have done well on the test, but
I was too lazy to study."
"That couldn't have been Sarah you saw
at the party. She's out of town."
"If I'd known your address, I could have
written to you."
