Presentation Transcript

What would you do if you won the lottery?: 

What would you do if you won the lottery? This presentation will provide explanation and practice for: Conditional Grammar, Part 2

SO… What would YOU do if you won the lottery!?: 

SO… What would YOU do if you won the lottery!? Maxine would buy a new house for herself and her parents if she won the lottery. If Paul won the lottery, he’d take a trip around the world. John and his wife would buy a piano if they became rich.

We use unreal conditionals in English to talk about: A situation that is not real, but that we imagine . . .: 

We use unreal conditionals in English to talk about: A situation that is not real, but that we imagine . . . If I had a million dollars . . . I would … If I lived in Italy . . . I would . . . If I got a job as a chef . . . I would . . . Are these real situations? Do I really have a million dollars? Do I really live in Italy? Do I really work as a chef?

How do we make this type of conditional grammar? Look at these examples:: 

How do we make this type of conditional grammar? Look at these examples: 1. If my friend asked me for money, I would lend it to her. 2. Tomas would be happier if he got a less stressful job. 3. Speaking in English would be easier if you practiced more frequently. After the IF, use ______________________ tense. In the other clause, use __________________.

Form & Meaning:: 

Form & Meaning: When you imagine a future happening like this, you use a past tense form after IF; However, the meaning is NOT past. Ex. If I moved to a big city, I’d sell my car. The meaning here is NOT past tense . . . I didn’t move away and I didn’t sell my car. I’m imagining a future possibility.

Notice that you can start these sentences with the If-clause or with the Would-clause:: 

Notice that you can start these sentences with the If-clause or with the Would-clause: If Marta moved abroad, she would learn another language. Marta would learn another language if she moved abroad.

Try these examples:: 

Try these examples: 1. If we ____________ (have) more time and money, we ________________ (take) a vacation to Hawaii. 2. The world ______________ (be) a better place if everyone ______________ (help) others.

More Practice . . .: 

More Practice . . . 3. If you ____________ (get) more exercise, I’m sure you ________________ (feel) healthier and happier. 4. Celia ______________ (do) better in school if she _____________ (sleep) more each night.

Important Note!: 

Important Note! Formal grammar requires that when making these kinds of conditional sentences, we use WERE for the past tense of be for all subjects (including I, he, she). Ex. -If I were you, I would buy that house. -She would buy a mansion if she were wealthy.

Slide10: 

You will probably hear many native speakers of English use WAS in these cases, and this is often accepted in spoken, less formal situations.

Slide11: 

What would YOU do if . . . you became rich? you found a wallet on the street? your house caught on fire? your best friend moved far away? your child failed a test? there were an earthquake in California? you saw a famous person on the street? Share Your Responses with the class . . .
