Aim:

After this lesson YOU are able to write sentences using the first and second conditional.

RECAP: 1st conditional

How do we form the 1st conditional??

When do we use the 1st conditional?

if + past simple, ...would + infinitive (base form)

We use the second conditional to describe an imaginary situation or event, and its result.

  For example:

If I won the lottery, I would buy a big house.(I probably won't win the lottery)
                                                     OR
I would give him my number if he asked me. (He might not ask me)
 

if + past simple, ...would + infinitive (base form)

We use the second conditional to describe an imaginary situation or event, and its result.

                                        

    For example:

-If I won the lottery, I would buy a big house.

(I probably won't win the lottery)

                                                 

-I would give him my number if he asked me.

(He might not ask me)

Difference between 1st and 2nd conditional:

Second conditional: If I had enough money I would buy a house with twenty bedrooms and a swimming pool.

I'm probably not going to have this much money, it's just a dream, not very real.

First conditional: If I have enough money, I'll buy some new shoes.

It's much more likely that I'll have enough money to buy some shoes

Finish the sentences!

- Use the 2nd conditional

-Afterwards put your phone away

If I woke up on an island,

If we lived in Mexico,

They would go to Spain on holiday

.... for president!

Read the text, pay attention to the use of the first and second conditional.

Can you spot the difference?

Do it yourself!

- Write down a similar text; what would YOU do if you ruled the world? - 100 words

- Do this individually, use the 1st and 2nd conditional.

 - Afterwards, present in groups of four: choose the president of that group!  - 5 min
