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 tense

• 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)

How to play

Students put the phrase on the right board.

Finish the phrase in the correct tense/conditional (they write on the board).

Signify what the sentence does (allowed to look at the notes):

-

- 1. To talk about regrets about the past

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