Unit 16 dealt with Conditionals and Reported Speech, in grammar. The five main conditionals are zero conditional, first conditional, second conditional,third conditional and mixed conditional. We learnt how each was formed and its usage. We also looked at the mistakes that can be made by students when they become confused by the difference in usage of the conditionals. Several teaching ideas were suggested for using the conditionals, with students. We looked at direct speech and indirect or reported speech. We saw how the form of the verb changed and the tense of the speech. For example, the past simple used in direct speech, changed to past perfect in the reported speech. The pronoun for who is spoken to, can also change. There are lots of mistakes that students can make because of verb tenses, pronouns, questions, time expressions. Teachers, therefore have to proceed very slowly with the students.
