Conditional sentences are if sentences which refer to past, present and future possibilities. Clauses If main To realize the action or state in the main clause, we have to satisfie \"if\" clause conditions. Main clauses are: ?Zero clause (if/ when + present tense, present tense) If you eat ice it melts. We use zero conditional, when we talk about irrefutable facts and actions. ?First conditional (if+ present tense, will) If I read it, I will know the paragraph. We use this conditional, when we talk about possible, real situation in the future. ?Second conditional (if+past simple, would/ could/ might+ base form) If I had enough money, I would go to Tokyo. Unreal situation in a present or future. ?Third conditional (if+ past perfect, would/ could/ might + have+ past participle) If I had got up earlier, I would have arrived on time. Hypothetical past action ?Mixed conditional (second+third conditionals) If you had warned me, I wouldn?t have a burn. Hypothetical past action or state, and its present consequences. To teach conditionals we should use different types of split sentences cards, some dilemma questions, in order to create a story, some chain games and so on. We use reported speech, when we talk about someones direct speech. Teacher asked us to bring some magazines the next day. Teacher said: ?Bring some magazines tomorrow.? When we change the direct speech into the report, we need to remember about next rules: Present simple changes into past simple Present continuous - past continuous Present perfect - past perfect Present perfect continuous - past perfect continuous Past simple - past perfect Past continuous - past perfect continuous Past perfect and past perfect continuous - no change Will - would Also there some rules for words that indicate time and position: Today - that day Now - then Yesterday - the day before Last _____- the _____before Next ____- the following _____ Tomorrow - the next day Here - there This - that These - those To teach that issue, teacher should use different some gap - filling games, interviews.
