2. Learning objectives
 Student will identify the structures and the different uses
for conditionals.
 Students will compare and contrast first and second
conditionals.
 Students will classify examples into first and second
conditionals.
 Students will formulate sentences using first and second
conditionals correctly and in context.

3. Warm-up activity: Let’s talk!
 You will be working in pairs.
 Decide who is student A and who will be student B.
 Student A has to talk to student B for 2 minutes about the topic given.
 After that, student A sits with a different student B and gives the exact
same talk but this time has 1 minute to do so.
 Then, it is time for students B to talk to a student A for 2 minutes about
the topic given.
 Finally, student B also has to find a different student A to perform the
exact same talk for 1 minute.

4. What is the difference
between…?
If I have enough money, I’ll buy something to
eat.
If I had enough money, I would buy a car.

5. FIRST CONDITIONAL
 We use first conditional to talk about things that
might happen. (50%)
 There is a real possibility that this condition will
happen.

6. First conditional examples
 If he is late, we will have to go without him.
 We will be in serious trouble if my mother knows about this.
 Sometimes, we use shall, can or may instead of will, for
example: If it's sunny this afternoon, we can play tennis.

7. SECOND CONDITIONAL
 We use it to talk about things in the future that
are probably not going to happen. (10%)
 Imaginary situations.
 There is an unreal possibility that the condition
will happen.

8. Second conditional examples
 I would buy a big house if I won the lottery.
 If there were no hungry people in this world, it would be a
much better place.
 Sometimes, we use should, could or might instead of would,
for example: If I won a million dollars, I could stop working.

9. Before practicing…
 Let’s work!
 Write two conditions in a separate piece of
paper (First and second conditional).
