  1. Conditionals: Game, Matching, and Writing Exercises for Review Katie Subra, subr0054@umn.edu

  2. Review – Which tense is being used? 0 Conditional: Simple Logic If you put your hand in a flame, it hurts. 1st Conditional: Real and Possible Situations If I have time, I will pick up dinner on my way. 2nd Conditional: Unreal and Impossible Situations If I were a pilot, I would visit more countries. 3rd Conditional: Impossible Past Situations I would have told you if I knew you were there.

  3. Round 1: Game Directions • You will review all types of conditionals by writing the following types of sentences on slips of paper: • Simple Logic – Zero Conditional • Plans – 1st Conditional • Dreams – 2nd Conditional • Regrets – 3rd Conditional • For the first round, you will be given a clue and an example sentence. • For the second round, you will only be given a clue. • You will earn 1 point for each grammatically correct phrase & 1 additional point for having the funniest sentence (as judged by your peers & teacher).

  4. Simple Logic – Zero Conditional Example: If it is cold, I wear a hat and gloves. Your Turn! Write a sentence on a slip of paper that relates to the photo. Use the zero conditional.

  12. Round 2: Matching Directions • Match the dependent if-clauses to the appropriate phrase to complete the idiomatic proverb. Then put the proverb into your own words using a conditional structure and try to think of an appropriate example. 1. If you build it, 2. If you count your chickens before they're hatched, 3. If you can't beat 'em, 4. If wishes were horses, 5. If the cap fits, 6. If you lie down with dogs, A) …wear it. B) …join them. C) …you'll always come up short. D) …you'll come up with fleas. E) …they will come. F) …beggars would ride.

  13. Round 3: Writing Directions • Think of the most rewarding event that has happened in your life. Try to pick something that is unique to you rather than something that many others have experienced. • Summarize that event by writing 3-4 sentences about it. Then write 1 Unreal Past Conditional statement describing how your life would be different if that hadn't happened to you. • Finally, write 1 Conditional Question to ask your peers about how such an event would (have) changed their life.

  14. Example 1: Working Abroad -In October 2013, I moved to Minsk from my home state of Minnesota to teach English as a Foreign Language for 9 months. I lived and taught in a rural part of the U.S. before the move and I was used to teaching English to International students studying abroad. The experience helped me to gain a new perspective about cross-cultural teaching and learning and I got to experience a whole new culture. -If I hadn't gone outside of my comfort zone by moving abroad, I wouldn't have gained so many insights into teaching, culture, and overcoming the feeling of otherness. -If you had the opportunity to work abroad for a year, what would you expect to learn and where would you go?

  15. Example 2: Activity Coordinator -While teaching ESL in the United States, I also had the opportunity to lead cultural field trips for my group of international students. This meant that during all four seasons (in Minnesota the seasons are quite extreme), I was responsible for planning, executing, and leading excursions into natural, cultural, and historical sites. Some of the trips included canoeing, rock climbing, shopping, going to waterparks, touring museums, or simply enjoying a professional sporting event with my students. These trips were always fun and taught me to appreciate my home even more; however the responsibility was sometimes very great. -If I didn't plan the trips carefully, my students wouldn't have enjoyed themselves or could have possibly gotten hurt. -If you had to lead a cultural field trip for young international students (18-25 years-old) in Belarus, where would you take them and what precautions would you need to take?
