What are Conditional Sentences?

Conditional sentences are statements that explain a condition and its result. They use 'if' to introduce the condition and the result follows the 'then'.

Introduce the concept of conditional sentences and provide examples.

The Second Conditional

• If it's not likely that something will happen now or in the future
• if + past simple, would + verb

• If we got the day off, we would go to London.
• We would all be sad if Daniel left

ATTENTION: In this conditonal use the word WERE instead of was/to be

If I were you I would not help him

Second conditional - Unlikely to happen

The Third Conditional

• After thoughts that didn't happen in the past.
• if + past perfect, would have + past participle

• If I had studied for my exams, I would have passed them.
• I would have bought that house if I had won the lottery.

Third conditional - Past regret

If clause	Main clause
If I had won the lottery	I would have bought a big house
If I had met the Queen	I would have said hello
If I had been you	I wouldn't have answered the question
If+past perfect (ex: had been)	would have + past tense

Conditionals (2nd,3rd)

Main clause	Result clause	Verbs
(2nd) if I studied	I would pass the test	past simple + would
(3rd) if I had studied	I would have passed the test	past perfect + would past tense

Something unlikely to happen today (2nd)

If I could start this week again... x 2 examples (3rd) (4 in total)

Look at the following phrases are they...

- To give advice or suggest something.

- To talk about things in the future that are unlikely.

- To talk about things that are impossible in the present situation.

- 1. To talk about regrets about the past

- 2. To imagine a situation in the past and the imaginary result

Write the correct situation in the correct place in the table

• If I saw a UFO
  
• If I hadn’t come to class today
  
• If this country were as cold as the North Pole
  
• My home would be much better
  
• If I were a teacher
  
• If I could meet any person in the world
  
• If I found a wallet in the street
  
• If this was Saturday night
  
• If you sent me flowers
  
• If I had been born with superpowers
  

How to play

Finish the phrase in the correct tense/conditional (on the second/3rd conditional worksheet).

Check your use of grammar and conditional structure (use your notes)
