Well done! But what have we done exactly?

• When, if or both?
• What steps do you need to take to figure this out?
• 1. Is the sentence about something general?

• ... you heat ice, it turns to water

• ... you're very ill, you should see a doctor
• Yes? Then you can use both when and if!

When, if or both?

•  But what if the sentence is not general?
• 2. Is the situation sure or very likely to happen?
• We'll see each other at Christmas ... I come to eat at your place.
  
• If yes, you can use when.

• 3. Is the situation not very likely to happen?
• ... I'm better, I'll visit you next week
• If yes, you can use if. 

So what type of sentences are we talking about here?

•  Conditionals (voorwaardelijke bijzinnen)
  

Conditionals

•  There are three types of conditionals in English.

•  Type 1: about real present or future situations

•  Type 2: about hypothetical present or future situations

• Type 3: about hypothetical past situations

Type 1

But between the drinks and subtle things
The holes in my apologies, you know
I'm trying hard to take it back
So if by the time the bar closes
And you feel like falling down
I'll carry you home

How do you form these conditionals?

- You will see an example of type 1. Try to figure out which tense/words to use in the conditional clause and the main clause.

"So if by the time the bar closes and you feel like falling down,
I'll carry you home."

•  Real or hypothetical situation?

• Past, present or future situation?
• What tense/words are being used?
• Real, present/future, Present simple + will/shall
  

Can you write a type 1 conditional sentence?

Type 2

"If I got locked away
And we lost it all today
Tell me honestly, would you still love me the same?
If I showed you my flaws
If I couldn't be strong
Tell me honestly, would you still love me the same?"

How do you form these conditionals?

- You will see an example of type 2. Try to figure out which tense/words to use in the conditional clause and the main clause.

"If I showed you my flaws, would you still love me the same?"

• Real or hypothetical situation?
• Past, present or future situation?
• What tense/words are being used?
• Hypothetical, present/future situation, if + past simple + would
  

Can you write a type 2 conditional sentence?

Type 3: Taylor Swift

"You could have helped if you had wanted to"
But no one notices until it's too late to do anything"

How do we form these conditionals?

- You will see an example of type 3. Try to figure out which tense/words to use in the conditional clause and the main clause.

"You could have helped if you had wanted to"

• Real or hypothetical situation?

•     Past, present or future situation?

•     What tense/words are being used?

•     Hypothetical, past situation, if + past perfect + could have
  

Can you think of a conditional sentence of type 3?

- If you made a lot of mistakes in the quiz or if you still find this difficult we can do some questions together!

- If you are done: Exercise 13, 14 and 15.

- You have until 10:10

Have you achieved the lesson goals?
