Learning Objective

At the end of the lesson, you will be able to apply the 1st and 2nd conditionals in English.

Introduce the learning objective to the students. Make sure they understand what they will be able to do by the end of the lesson.

Be unique

Everyone stand up!

I say something about myself, for example: "I have 1 brother."

If someone else in class also has 1 brother they must say that out loud, then I must sit back down and I'm out of the game.

The goal is to be the last one standing by saying unique things about yourself so you don't have to sit back down.

What do you already know about conditionals?

What are Conditionals?

Conditionals are sentences that express a condition (voorwaarde) and its result.
