Week 14
Second and Third Conditional review.

What will we achieve today?

Session Objective: Compares and uses the second conditional (hypothetical present/future) and third conditional (hypothetical past) to debate decisions and situations.

Community Connection: We will connect this language structure to describe our own life experiences, family stories, and community realities in Popayán and the Cauca region.

Key Concepts

• Second Conditional: If + Past Simple, would + base verb (e.g., 'If I won the lottery, I would buy a house'). Imaginary/unlikely situations.
• Third Conditional: If + Past Perfect, would have + past participle (e.g., 'If I had studied, I would have passed'). Imaginary past situations/regrets.
• Structure contrast: Past Simple/would vs. Past Perfect/would have.

Practical Challenge: Conditional Contrast

Write 3 conditional pairs: one second conditional (present dream) and one third conditional (past regret) for 3 different scenarios (e.g., exam, match, trip).

Reflection & Wrap-up

Self-assessment Question: Identify which conditional is used: 'If they had run faster, they would have won' vs. 'If they ran faster, they would win.'
