Procedures

Warming up by learning about Second conditional and Should for

advice

The second conditional (also called conditional type 2) is a structure

used for talking about unreal situations in the present or in the future.

This page will explain how the second conditional is formed, and

when to use it.

The structure of a second conditional sentence

Like a first conditional, a second conditional sentence consists of two clauses, an "if" clause and a main clause:

if clause main clause

If I had a million dollars, I would buy a big house.

If the "if" clause comes first, a comma is usually used. If the "if" clause comes second, there is no need for a comma:

main clause if clause

I would buy a big house if I had a million dollars.

We use different verb forms in each part of a second conditional:

if clause if + subject + simple past verb*

main clause subject + would + verb

1a Talking about imaginary situations

What would you do if you had a lot of money?

If I had a lot of money, I would give it to charity.

If I had a lot of money, I would buy snacks.

If I had a lot of money, I would give it to Hope Project.

If I had a lot of money, I would buy books for the poor.

Boy1:Yeah, well, I’m a little nervous. I don’t know what to wear.

Girl1:If I were you, I’d wear a shirt and tie.

Boy1:And I don’t have a present. What if everyone brings a present?

Girl1:If I were you, I’d take a small present—a pen or

something. Keep it in your pocket and if everyone has a present,

you can give him yours. If not, you can keep it.

Boy1:OK. But what if I don’t know anyone?

Girl1:If you don’t know anyone, you can talk to Tom. He’ll introduce you to people.

Next you are going to think of different advice for the problems in activity 3a. Role play conversations with your partner.

A: I am really shy. I don’t enjoy parties. B: If I were you, I’d go and shout in the street. I’d set up parties and invite all my classmates to come and sing and dance.

A: I get nervous before big parties and I get pimples. B: Pimples look good to me. They are not terrible at all. If I were you, the night before the big exam I’d lie in bed counting the cows, the sheep, the cattle and the horses. Then I’d have a nice sleep. If you count as

many cows as possible you’d do well in th e exam.

I failed the driver’s exam and cannot get my driver’s licen se. Go practicing driving more often and go over the textbook three more times. You won’t fail next time.

My father does not want me to get my ears pierced. If I were you, I’d go to my mother for support. Or you can ask your mother to have her ears pierced first.

I have to go to school on foot. I want to take the bus. Going to school on foot is good for your health. Go on going to school, to any places nearby on foot. It save money, too.

I like to choose my own clothes, but my mother doesn’t allow me to do that. Wear your school uniforms while you are still a student. Wait till you are a big man and you’d have the right to choose your own clothes.

Subject:Can you help? From: Fran

Dear Knowledgeable,

My best friend, Mei, has a problem. There is a really important English speech contest for our whole city next month. Our classmates want her to represent the class in the school contest. Everyone is sure she will win. It’s probably true. Mei is very clever, and can speak English really well. In fact, she always comes top in the school exams. The problem is that she’s very shy. She doesn’t want to let her friends down, but she’s terrified of speaking in front of other people. She’s my friend, so she can tell me that she’s shy. But she can’t tell everyone that. I don’t think they would believe her. I can’t think of any good advice to give her, but you always come up with good solutions to people’s probl ems. What do you think I should tell Mei? What do you think I should tell the rest of the students? Fran

To end this period let’s do something fun—to find the animals.
