IN THIS UNIT WE HAVE LEARNED THE USE OF CONDITIONALS AND THE METHODS TO TEACH OUR STUDENTS HOW TO USE IT. FIRST OF ALL A CONDITIONAL SENTENCE IS COMPOSED BY 2 CLAUSES: THE CONDITIONAL CLAUS WHICH CONTAINS \"IF\" OR \"WHEN\" AND THE MAIN CLAUS. IN THE CONDITIONAL CLAUS WE FIND THE CONDITION, THE FACT OR THE STATE THAT HAS TO VERIFY SO THE FACT CONTAINED IN THE MAIN CLAUSE CAN BE REALIZED. WE HAVE 5 DIFFERENT CONDITIONALS: 1) ZERO CONDITIONAL (IF + PRESENT TENSE / PRESENT SIMPLE) IS USED WHEN WE REFER TO IRREFUTABLE TRUES. 2) FIRST CONDITIONAL (IF+ PRESENT SIMPLE/ WILL - COULD - MIGHT - MAY - SHOULD) IS USED WHEN A FUTURE FACT COULD VERIFY IF THE CONDITION TAKES PLACE. 3)WE USE THE SECOND CONDITIONAL (IF+PAST SIMPLE/ WOULD + VERB) WHEN REFER TO UNREAL PRESENT OR FUTURE SITUATION THAT IS NOT TRUE AND PROBABLY NEVER WILL BE REAL. 4) THIRD CONDITIONAL (IF + PAST PERFECT/ WOULD+ HAVE+ PAST PARTICIPLE) IS USED WHEN WE REFER TO HYPOTHETICAL PAST ACTIONS AND HYPOTHETICAL PAST CONSEQUENCES. 5) MIXED CONDITIONAL (IF+PAST PERFECT/ WOULD+VERB) WHICH IS OBTAINED BY MIXING TOGETHER THIRD AND MIXED CONDITIONAL AND WE USE IT FOR REFERRING TO HYPOTHETICAL PAST ACTIONS AND HYPOTHETICAL PRESENT CONSEQUENCES. THERE ARE THREE TASK SHEETS THAT CAN BE VERY USEFUL TO LET OUR STUDENTS LEARN ABUT CONDITIONALS: SPLIT SENTENCES, CHAIN CONDITIONALS, NUCLEAR BUNKER ROLE PLAY, WHAT QUESTIONS AND COMPLETE THE CONDITIONAL. THEN WE HAVE BEEN INTRODUCED TO DIRECT AND INDIRECT SPEECH AND TO THE VERB RULES TO REPORT DIRECT SPEECH CORRECTLY. WHILE REPORTING TO ANOTHER PERSON A DIRECT SPEECH, THE BACK SHIFTING PROCESS TAKES PLACE. IN OTHER WORDS FACTS AND THINGS TAKE A STEP BACKWARDS.
