GROUP WORK: Research on the Conditionals

You are supposed to have read, analyse and underline the Grammar Reference of your student's book. So you must be ready to solve the following:

  • Get into groups of 3 or 4 people.

  • Once more, look up the Grammar Reference of your student's book.

  • Make original sentences using the correct conditional and express:
  1. a probable situation + its structure
  2. a hypothetical situation + its structure
  3. a hypothetical situation in the past + its structure
  4. a thing which is always true -- scientific facts, general truths.
  • When you are finished, send it all as a comment or email it to me at negroarroz@gmail.com. Your work will be posted on the blog.

  • Finally, as well as a comment or via email, say which presentation is your favourite one.

  • Bonus. Make a sentence for each of the following: if...not; unless; even if; as long as; providing that; but only if.

    -If you say "goodbye" we'll feel sad.
    -I wouldn't get wet if I took the umbrella.
    -If we had used a condon, I wouldn't have pregnanted.

    I couldn't write it before.

    See you Edu!

    As long as I need something, I'll come here!!

  2. Aida, Olga, Nacho, good try!

    But, why don't you try to include the STRUCTURE of the conditionals?

    Now have a look at your 3rd sentence and compare it with this one:
    -If we had used a condoM, I wouldn't HAVE BEEN PREGNANT.

    Can you include a 4th sentence? The ZERO CONDITIONAL, that's to say, a thing which is always true -- scientific facts, general truths.
    Thanks
