The Ring (not the movie)

Reading and a bit of grammar

Unit 4 - Dilemmas

Open your book 'Think' on page 42.

Read the text at the bottom the page.

The story continues in the bottom left of page 43.

What did Billy do with the ring? Answer in English.

For the next eight slides...

... you will see sentences that could have been said by the people in the true story. The sentences are not to be found literally in the story.

For every sentence, mention who you think said it.

If you missed it before: the text continues at the bottom of p 43.

Who said, "If only a little good luck came my way"?

Who said, "What's that in my cup"?

Who said, "I'd like to buy it"?

Who said, "It's a lot of money, but I can't"?

How about, "I was here a few days ago"?

And, "I can't believe he didn't sell my ring"?

Who do you think said, "I think that's a great idea"?

And, "We never thought we'd see you again"?

This might be difficult...

Again, open Think on page 42 and go to the text at the bottom of the page. Then do the exercises on the next slides.

Complete the sentences from the story with the correct forms of the verbs.
If Billy _____ (look) up, he _____ (see) a young lady on her way to work.

Again, use the text for this one:
If he _____ (not do) the right thing, he _____ (not see) his sisters again.

In the sentences, we used 'had ...', followed by 'would have ...'.

Can you explain in what situations we use 'had ...' + 'would have ...'?
You can also give an example.

Third conditional

We use 'had ...' + 'would have ...' for something that could have happened in the past, but didn't. This is called the third conditional.

If I had known that, I would have studied!

Please note (again) that we don't use 'would' in the part of the sentence that has 'if'.

Fill in the right forms.
1. Sarah _____ (see) the ring if she _____ (look) in the cup.

2. Billy _____ (keep) the ring if Sarah _____ (not return).

3. Sarah _____ (not raise) so much money if she _____ (not put) her story online.

For the next three slides...

... complete the sentences so that they are true for you.

1. If I hadn't gone to school today, ...

2. I'd have been really happy if ...

3. If I'd been born 100 years ago, ...

You're done!
